Bajan CLICO policyholders may lose 50%

(Barbados Nation) CLICO policyholders will lose out on more than half of their investment under the plan recently proposed by judicial manager Deloitte Consulting Limited.

Details of the B$400 million loss are contained in the judicial manager’s 13-page update to the High Court,  a copy of which the SUNDAY SUN has obtained.

“All policyholders, traditional and EFPAs [executive flexible premium annuities] would have their liability of B$837 million written down to B$441 million, representing a loss of approximately B$400 million,” stated the document,  which indicated that  the write-down amount represented the current value  of CLICO International Life  (CIL) assets – B$288 million  of which are in Barbados.

“The loss would be applied equitably across all policyholder types so that the restructured traditional business would  have total liability of B$177 million  and the EFPA would have total liability of B$264 million.”
