**0.2% per annum is provided by RaboDirect. You do not have a deposit with RaboDirect or any recourse to RaboDirect. In the event that RaboDirect does not meet its obligations to Zurich Life, or the return on the RaboDirect account is otherwise insufficient, the value of the Variable Rate Deposit (Series 3) Fund will be based only on the value returned from the deposit account with RaboDirect. No other assets of Zurich Life Assurance plc shall be used to make up the difference.
