The death cover is not extended to children under 18yrs of age.

The benefit will also be paid if death is due to natural causes only if the death occurred after a three year waiting period.
Death Of a Child a) Below age 10
On death of the child before maturity of the policy, if the child is below the age of ten years, the benefit will be a return of the investment component of the premium. b) Above age 10 If the child is above the age of ten years, the benefit will be the accumulated fund value at that point in time.
Death Cover
Accidental Death Benefit On death of the Applicant as a result of an Accident, the full cover amount
applicable at date of death will become payable.
An Accident is a fatal and unforeseeable event that occurs after the Commencement Date and which, in a violent, external and visible manner, independent of any other cause, directly causes an injury resulting in the Applicant’s death.
Suicide does not classify as accidental death but as death due to causes other than an Accident (subject to the conditions and exclusions in the contract schedule).
Disability Benefit
Disability is defined as the ‘inability of the applicant/premium payer, due to injury, to perform the duties of his or her occupation and any occupation which he or she could reasonably be expected to follow taking into account his or her education, training, experience and employment history.’
On disability as a result of injury ,the waiver of premium benefit will pay the contract premium for a maximum period of ten years or expiry of the policy term whichever is earlier.
Premium waiver is up to a maximum of KES 20,000 per month contributions and payable for a maximum term of 10 years or until the contractual premium paying term expires, whichever is earlier.
A waiting period will apply as defined by Old Mutual before the benefit is paid out.
Waiver of Premium
The benefits payable on the Waiver of Premium are limited to a maximum contribution amounts of KES 20,000 per month per applicant (regardless of the number of policies an applicant may have taken up) and the maximum term of 10 years or the benefit premium term, whichever is earlier, from when the benefit started to be paid.
Once the waiver of premium benefit ends, the policy is deemed to have matured.
The waiver of premium shall pay the contract premium in the same frequency that prevailed before the waiver of premium benefit commenced.
If the beneficiary chooses to surrender the policy while the waiver of premium benefit is active, the benefit paid will be equal to the fund value less any applicable charges if the child is 10 years and over and a return of investment premium component if the child is under 10 years.
Investment Benefit
