* The following
account types require redemption requests to be submitted in writing:
403(b)-7, certain trust registrations, business, corporate, church,
sole proprietorships, partnerships, and any other account types
that require additional legal documentation to redeem or exchange
funds.
** Available
for shareholders that have Electronic and/or Telephone Transaction
Privileges on their account and for redemptions that do not require
a signature guarantee or additional documentary evidence.
Redemption
Guidelines:
Requirements
for redemptions will vary according to account types and your specific
instructions. Most redemption requests may be processed online.
Certain account registrations require specific documentation in
addition to the Signature Guarantee such as a 403B, corporation,
business, church, sole proprietorship, partnership, trust or fiduciary.
The
following guidelines apply to all redemption requests:
-
Written
requests must be received in original form. We are unable to
accept photocopies of Legal Documents or Signature Guarantees.
-
Requests
for over $50,000 must be in writing and require a Signature
Guaranteed.
- If a non-Medallion
Signature Guarantee is received, processing your request may be
delayed. Medallion Signature Guarantees can be obtained from full
service brokerage firms and most FDIC insured banks.
IMPORTANT:
In an effort to provide enhanced
security for the Medallion Signature Guarantee process, the
Medallion Signature Program was converted to STAMP2000 New Technology
Medallion imprints in early 2003.
Beginning
January 1, 2004,
all Medallion Signature Guarantees MUST use STAMP2000 imprint
technology. The new STAMP2000 technology utilizes a bar code
and specialized ink for added security. Please be sure your
financial institution uses the new STAMP2000 imprint for all
applicable forms where signature guarantees are required. Requests
bearing the old Medallion Signature Guarantee technology will
be returned.
Note: This
action will not affect non-Medallion Signature Guarantees, which
will still be accepted from entities unaffiliated with the STAMP
Program.

Additional Redemption
Features:
- Systematic
Withdrawal Plan
A Systematic Withdrawal Plan (SWP) provides you with a convenient method to redeem shares on a regular basis for a pre-determined dollar or share amount. You may request a SWP redemption on a monthly, quarterly, semi-annual, or annual basis on any day you choose. To establish this service, please refer to your fund’s prospectus for details.
Check Writing is available in certain funds for non-retirement accounts, accounts not subject to a contingent deferred sales charge and accounts not subject to backup withholding with the IRS. For information on how to establish Check Writing, please contact one of our Customer Service Representatives.
Primerica Shareholders Services’ (PSS) policy:
- $500 account value minimum to place a checkbook order
- An order for a new checkbook will only be accepted when 5 or more checks have been presented for payment from the previous checkbook.
- Checks will be dishonored if the balance in the associated account that has cleared PSS’ 15-day escrow period is insufficient to honor a check in full, and PSS and its custodian bank are not liable for any consequences of such dishonor.
- If shareholder believes a check was returned in error, shareholder has 14 days from the date on the notice of denial to request dispute resolution by contacting PSS.
The check writing privilege may be amended or revoked at any time and for any reason by the mutual fund, PSS or its custodian bank. The check writing privilege of a shareholder that engages in excessive Checkwriting or that incurs a check returned for insufficient funds will be reviewed for termination. PSS reserves the right to institute a charge for checks returned for insufficient funds at any time and without further notice to shareholders.
- Direct
Deposit
Direct Deposit is an option that allows funds to be sent directly to your bank account*. Direct Deposits can be utilized on accounts with an established Systematic Withdrawal Plan, Dividends and Capital Gains that are paid in cash, and redemptions made by phone or in writing. A service fee may apply.
