GATEWAY PORTFOLIO

Reasons to invest in the Canada Life Gateway Portfolio

Professional Investment Management


Experienced investment professionals who are well positioned to identify good investment opportunities. Using professional investment managers allows you access to stock markets without the expertise needed for trading shares directly.

Choice


The flexibility to switch between a wide range of funds during your investment. This allows you to capitalise on market conditions or to change your investment portfolio as your needs or circumstances change, and to ensure you always have the most tailored investment possible.

Simplicity


A tax efficient method of investment. Canada Life will deduct any tax applicable. Your fund will grow free of tax until certain events occur, e.g. encashing your policy, receiving an income, assignment etc., during each 8-year period.

Income


The Gateway Portfolio allows you to take a regular income or just take out money when the need arises. Withdrawals other than regular income withdrawals up to the allowable limit will be subject to encashment charges during the first 5 years of the investment and any withdrawals will reduce the value of the underlying funds.
