4. Pricing Methodology and Assumptions

4.1. Pricing Methodology

A monthly discounted cashflow approach was adopted for determining the emerging profits,
explicitly taking into account all related cashflows including the cost of setting up statutory
reserves.

Policyholder cashflows

 Contributions
 less monthly insurance charge for life cover
 less monthly insurance charge on riders
 plus investment return credited at prevailing T-bill rate less 6% (flat).

Company (profit) cashflows

 Unallocated returns on policyholder funds (i.e. the net of tax return earned over and
above that credited to policyholder accounts)
 plus charge for insurance on life
 plus charge for insurance on riders
 Less initial and renewal expenses, NAICOM fees and stamp duties payable
 Less increase in non-unit reserves
 Plus return on reserves and net non-unit cashflows

4.2. Pricing Assumptions


The following assumptions were made in the determination of the profit margins:
