Introducing
Vital Invest – Certus Guaranteed Fund.
The Certus Guaranteed Fund, as part of Vital Invest insurance, guarantees the client the return of 100 % of the amount invested in the fund on maturity (following the deduction of administration costs).

How the performance of the underlying share basket is calculated
Performance of shares = actual performance of shares for the past year / for past years since the creation of the fund.
Recorded share performance
- If the actual share performance value is positive, 300 % of this value is recorded, whereby this value may equal 5 % at the most.
- If the actual share performance value is negative or zero, 100 % of this value is recorded, whereby this value may equal - 50 % at the worst.
The annual coupon is subsequently calculated based on the recorded performance of individual shares.
The annual coupon is calculated as the arithmetic average of the recorded annual performance of all 22 shares, in that the value is always zero at worst.
The total yield paid on the maturity of the fund is the sum of all 6 annual coupons.
The client receives the following on the maturity of the fund:
- 100 % of the capital invested (minus administration costs)
- the sum of the 6 annual coupons (equalling 0 at worst).
