Guarantees are dependent on the claims-paying ability of PICA and are subject to certain terms, conditions, and limitations.
Certain insurance products used to transfer pension risk, including PICA’s Portfolio Protected Buy-Out and Portfolio Protected Buy-In, may utilize a separate account established by PICA, in which case, premium paid to PICA under the group annuity contract is deposited into a separate account. The payment obligations specified in the group annuity contracts for such products are insurance claims supported by the assets in the separate account, and if such assets are not sufficient, by the claims-paying ability of PICA, subject to certain terms conditions, and limitations.
