Why choose a Sanlam Life Pooled Investment
Sanlam Life Pooled Investments are simply investments wrapped inside a protective Sanlam Life Policy. These are popular options for retirement funds looking to combine the growth of the investment markets, but with the protective wrap (or security) of a life policy.
Sanlam Life Insurance Ltd offers a range of pooled investment portfolios for retirement funds. These institutional investment capabilities include multi-managed, single-managed, active and passive ranges. There are no minimum investment requirements to access these pooled investment portfolios and they offer a range of appealing benefits, making them an attractive choice for small, medium and large retirement funds. A Sanlam Life Pooled Investment is a linked policy. The underlying investments or assets are held in the name of Sanlam Life Insurance Ltd, not in the name of the policyholder.
No minimum size unless otherwise stated
Added security of a large institution
Legal, compliance and sound corporate governance peace of mind
Access to Sanlam’s expertise and resources - with the benefit of a long-term legal structure
