Dear Sir/Madam,
ASX RELEASE – CORRECTION TO SLIDE 17 OF INVESTOR PRESENTATION
ClearView Wealth Limited refers to the “ClearView Results Year Ended 30 June 2018 Investor Presentation” released to the market on 23 August 2018. It has come to our attention that there is an error on page 17 of the Investor Presentation which we wish to clarify.
Under the heading “LifeSolutions Income Protection Lapse Experience” on the bottom left hand corner, an incorrect graph was inserted. The incorrect graph was a duplicate of the graph inserted under the heading “Total Lapse Experience” on the top left hand corner.
The correct graph has been inserted and page 17 of the Investor Presentation is now attached. We note the graph used under the same heading on page 37 in the Annual Report 2018 is correct.
ENDS

FY18 result impacted by adverse lapse experience of $2.1m - more recent adverse experience driven by the LifeSolutions lump sum portfolio. The repositioning and repricing of the LifeSolutions lump sum product in CY18, coupled with the impact of the LIF reforms, is expected to improve lapse performance so it fits within longer term actuarial assumptions
