BSLI Foresight Plan, with its Guaranteed Option, gives you the benefit of not only protecting
the NIP itself but also the benefit of locking in the highest gains thereon achieved during the
first 7 policy years. This is accomplished with the NIP Guaranteed Value being equal to the
highest NIP Value recorded on a daily basis over the first 7 policy years.
Example: NIP of 100,000 had its NIP Value peak at 200,000 on a particular day during the
first 7 policy years. The NIP Guaranteed Value is 200,000.
For your entire policy, the Fund Value is the sum of all your NIP Values as of date. Your
Guaranteed Minimum Maturity Benefit is similarly defined as the sum of all your NIP
Guaranteed Values. At maturity and provided you remain invested in the Guaranteed Option,
you will receive the Fund Value or the Guaranteed Minimum Maturity Benefit, whichever
is higher.
Note that your Guaranteed Minimum Maturity Benefit shall be reduced proportionately in
case you take a partial withdrawal at any time after completing 5 policy years. For example,
if you withdraw 20% of your Fund Value on a particular day, then each of your NIP Guaranteed
Values (and thus your Guaranteed Minimum Maturity Benefit) will also be reduced by 20%
on that date.
