If these policies have only been surrendered the client would have received only (A) an amount of R230,656 as total surrender value. However these policies were referred for valuation.

These existing policies can be traded for an additional value (B) of R91,920 above the surrender values. This amount is disclosed to the Adviser and Client. Say for example the negotiated commission charged was R20,957.76 {20% of B(EXCL VAT)} then the client would still receive the Total Surrender value (A) of R230,656 + Additional Value (profit) of R70,962.24. The Total of R301,618.24 (C - Commission). The total commission of R20,957.76 will shared between the trader and the accredited Adviser, or the Adviser
can negotiate his own commission with the client.
