Learn how auto-adjusting your policy helps you save
Meet Thandi 👋
Thandi took out EasyProtect Life Cover of R 1,200,000.00 for 5 years, in January.
We took into account both Thandi’s assets and Easy Portfolio values at the time, and subtracted this from the total life cover required by her dependants.

What does this mean for Thandi?
After a period of 6 months, Thandi’s Easy Portfolio will be re-evaluated. If the value of her investments and assets has increased, her life insurance requirement decreases accordingly. This means she will get a savings portion on her policy value too - Hooray! 👏
6 months later...🗓️
Thandi’s Easy Portfolio has grown since the last evaluation and so her life cover requirement decreased to R 1,100,000
Because auto-adjust was enabled, Thandi’s premium remained the same, but she earned a savings portion of R 9.50 which was automatically deposited straight into her ZAR account to invest further.

Frequently Asked Questions
-
What is Auto-Adjust
As your assets grow over time, the amount of cover you need decreases. If you choose to auto-adjust your cover, we will update your cover to your new required amount after assets, every 6 months. As your policy cost decreases the excess will be yours to invest.
-
Can I switch Auto-Adjust off at anytime?
Yes, you can! Like you toggle Auto-Adjust on, you can toggle Auto-Adjust off. When Auto-Adjust is toggled off, your life cover remains as set and will only update when done manually yourself.
-
What happens if my EasyPortfolio decreases over 6 months
Auto-adjust is aimed to help you grow your investments. If your portfolio remains the same or decreases, your cover amount stays the same and so no savings portion will exist.
