Effective November 1, 2019, Empire Life is changing the way that the Guaranteed Investment Fund (GIF) Insurance Fee is calculated and collected for all GIF contracts to align with industry common practices. The change will apply to all GIF products (GIF 75/75, 75/100, and 100/100) in new and existing GIF contracts.
The GIF Insurance Fee will be calculated and collected through each fund’s Net Asset Value (NAV). Going forward the fund's NAV will include all fund costs in the MER (management fee, operational expenses, and insurance fee) to give customers a complete assessment of the performance of their GIF segregated funds.
