Issue age expanded to 90 for CI Empire Life Concentric GIF 75/75
Effective July 11, 2022, Empire Life will be extending the maximum contract issue age for the CI Empire Life Concentric GIF (“Concentric GIF”) 75/75 contract to age 90 to provide older customers with a more cost-effective estate planning solution.
To align with segregated fund industry best practices, we will also be reducing the maximum contract issue age for our Concentric GIF 75/100 contracts to age 80. Previously these contracts were available for issue until age 90; however, the contract was only issued with a 75% death benefit guarantee if the contract was opened after the annuitant’s 80th birthday.
The names for several Concentric GIF segregated funds will also be changed effective July 11th to reflect the new name of the underlying mutual fund.
Restrictions on Deferred Sales Charge purchases for over age 80
Empire Life will also be restricting deposits into the Deferred Sales Charge (DSC) purchase option for all Concentric GIF contracts after December 31st of the year the annuitant turns 80. This change will apply to both existing Concentric GIF customers as well as new Concentric GIF contracts sold after this date.
