Unit-linked (class 23) life insurance KBC-Life MI Comfort4Life Defensive is a fund launched under the unit-linked (class 23) investment-type life insurance contract KBC-Life Multinvest(*). This fund allows you to capitalise in full on market trends. The key features at a glance • Comfort4Life Defensive is aimed at allowing you to benefit fully when market developments are favourable. The fund managers ensure that your reserve is evenly spread. They adjust the asset allocation when markets rise, replacing less risky assets by ones offering the prospect of a better return. If there is neither a sustained rise nor a sustained decline, this fund will be invested more defensively (i.e. less shares or share UCIs* than bonds or bond UCIs). *UCI = undertaking for collective investment • Comfort4Life Defensive seeks out protection when markets are falling by replacing riskier assets (like shares) by less risky ones such as bonds or short-term deposits. This system limits any decline in your reserves. • You decide who to nominate as beneficiary in the event of death and you can also opt to take out additional cover to protect your family. • This fund does not provide any capital protection or any type of set return. • This fund is offered under the unit-linked investment-type life insurance contract, KBC-Life Multinvest, as a possibility to switch between funds within this contract. It is not possible to directly deposit funds in KBC-Life MI Comfort4Life Defensive.
