# Savvly Longevity Benefit — Product Facts

Authoritative, machine-generated reference, regenerated from Savvly's single source of truth. All figures are illustrative projections, not guarantees.

> Savvly is not insurance, not an annuity — it is a new kind of longevity-linked security: an SEC-registered closed-end fund that delivers structured milestone payouts via market participation plus longevity-pool allocation.

## Identity

- **Name:** Savvly Longevity Benefit
- **Category:** longevity_benefit_fund
- **Category Name:** Longevity-Linked Security (LLS)
- **Category First:** Savvly Fund #3 is the first Longevity-Linked Security (LLS) registered with the SEC — the category opens with a single product, the way the ETF category opened with SPY, the first ETF registered with the SEC.
- **Fund Brand:** Savvly 80+
- **Tagline:** Market upside + longevity protection in a single SEC-registered investment
- **Positioning Statement:** Savvly is not insurance, not an annuity — it is a new kind of longevity-linked security: an SEC-registered closed-end fund that delivers structured milestone payouts via market participation plus longevity-pool allocation.
- **Description:** Savvly offers longevity protection — an SEC-registered security that combines S&P 500 index fund participation with a longevity pool allocation mechanism. Contributions are invested in a low-cost S&P 500 ETF from Vanguard (VOO), held in custody at U.S. Bank. At milestone ages (80, 85, 90, and 95), investors receive structured payouts that include both their market growth and an additional benefit from the longevity pool — when investors exit early, their unused share may be allocated to remaining participants. This is NOT an annuity and NOT insurance. It is a capital markets structure registered with the SEC.
- **Naming Note:** The fund is Savvly 80+ (legal registrant Savvly Fund #3); the product built on it is the Savvly Longevity Benefit. The website, MCP, and REST API expose the product, so they say 'Savvly Longevity Benefit'; 'Savvly 80+' refers to the fund.

## Fees & Expenses

- **Common Shares Bps:** 55
- **Tracking Shares Bps:** 110
- **Blended Range Bps:**
  - **Low:** 55
  - **High:** 80
- **Net Of Fees Note:** All return and payout illustrations published by Savvly are presented NET of Savvly's annual fund operating expenses.
- **Management Expense Bps:** 35
- **Admin Expense Bps:** 55
- **Portfolio ETF Opex Bps:** 10
- **Other Expenses Bps:** 10
- **Portfolio ETF Opex Note:** Portfolio ETF operating expenses (~10 bps) are paid to the ETF issuers, not to Savvly. They are one component of the Common Shares total (55 bps = 35 management + 10 ETF + 10 other); the Tracking Shares total (110 bps) adds the administrative expense.
- **Allocation Expense Pct:** 5
- **Payout Expense Pct:** 5
- **Class BSales Load Max Pct:** 6.75
- **Class BSales Load Note:** The Class B sales load is the selling broker-dealer's maximum charge (disclosed in the broker-dealer's materials) — not a Savvly expense, and not surfaced in Savvly content.
- **Class BSales Load Breakeven:** A participant who pays the full 6.75% Class B sales load needs a total return of about 7.24% on the net invested amount simply to recover it (disclosed on the cover of the prospectus).
- **Returned Check Fee Usd:** 25
- **Returned Check Fee Note:** Charged on a returned check or stop-payment.
- **Management Expense Recipient:** Management expense is paid to Savvly Advisor, LLC (the advisor), charged on Common Shares NAV and on Tracking-Share deferred repurchase price.
- **Admin Expense Recipient:** Administrative expense is charged on Tracking-Share deferred repurchase price and paid to the Administrator (Savvly TA, LLC) for licensing Savvly's allocation algorithms / IP and administering the Fund.
- **Summary:** Savvly's annual fund operating expenses are 55 bps on common (purchased) shares and 110 bps on tracking (allocated) shares. The blended annual fund operating expense depends on a participant's mix of the two share classes; estimates fall in the 55–80 bps range.
- **Structure:** Savvly's annual fund operating expenses are 55 bps on purchased shares and 110 bps on allocated shares.

## Payout Schedule

- **Schedule:**
  1.
     - **Age:** 80
     - **Percentage:** 0.4
     - **Label:** First milestone
     - **Description:** 40% of accumulated value distributed
  2.
     - **Age:** 85
     - **Percentage:** 0.3
     - **Label:** Second milestone
     - **Description:** 30% of accumulated value distributed
  3.
     - **Age:** 90
     - **Percentage:** 0.2
     - **Label:** Third milestone
     - **Description:** 20% of accumulated value distributed
  4.
     - **Age:** 95
     - **Percentage:** 0.1
     - **Label:** Final milestone
     - **Description:** Remaining 10% of accumulated value distributed
- **Delivery:** Payouts are delivered in kind (VOO shares transfer) for tax optimization; no taxable event until liquidation.
- **Timing:** Payout dates fall at the end of the quarter in which the investor turns 80, 85, 90, and 95.
- **Deferral:** An investor may decline a payout and stay invested, taking it later on 3 months' notice (those Units then stop receiving allocations).
- **Guarantee Disclaimer:** Payouts are potential outcomes, not guaranteed; actual amounts depend on market performance, fund size/behavior, contributions, and timing.

## Early Withdrawal

- **Name:** 75%-100% Return of Capital Rule
- **Base Refund Pct:** 0.75
- **Annual Bonus:** 0.01
- **Cap:** 1
- **Applied To:** lesser of original investment or current market value
- **No Penalty Window Days:** 30
- **On Death:** On death before a payout age, the estate/family receives the early-withdrawal amount under the Exit Rule; the portion not returned funds increased payouts for investors who stay.
- **Formula:** min(1.0, 0.75 + 0.01 * years_held) * min(original_investment, current_market_value)
- **Example:** After 10 years: min(1.0, 0.75 + 0.10) = 85% of the lesser of your original investment or current market value

## Longevity Pool

- **Description:** When investors exit the pool before reaching a payout milestone, their unused share may be allocated to remaining investors, potentially increasing the returns available for those who stay. This mechanism creates an additional return above pure market performance — similar in concept to mortality credits in longevity-risk pooling arrangements, but structured as an SEC-registered fund.
- **Mechanism:** allocation
- **Vs Insurance:** Unlike annuities, there is no insurance company bearing the risk. The benefit comes from the pool structure itself.

## Tax Treatment

- **General:** Intends to qualify as a Regulated Investment Company (RIC); distributions are generally taxable as ordinary income or capital gain, and in-kind ETF payouts carry capital gains
- **Employer Roth:** Qualified Roth treatment may be available in an employer-sponsored context.
- **Tax Deferred Accounts:** Tax-deferred when held in a tax-deferred account such as an IRA or 401(k).
- **Step Up Basis:** Heirs may receive a step-up in cost basis.
- **Phantom Income:** Reinvested distributions (Dividend Reinvestment Plan, into Class A Common Shares) are still currently taxable — 'phantom income'.
- **RIC Distribution:** As a RIC, must distribute at least 90% of investment company taxable income; the Fund buys-and-holds and expects little taxable income, making minimal distributions mainly to keep RIC status.
- **Rmds:** Positions held in an IRA or 401(k) are subject to required minimum distributions from age 73; a Savvly position cannot satisfy an RMD on demand, so the account needs enough other liquid holdings to cover RMDs through age 80.
- **Note:** Consult a tax professional for advice specific to your situation

     - **Question:** What is Savvly?
     - **Answer:** Savvly is a modern longevity benefit that delivers meaningful late-life payouts, starting at age 80, designed to enhance quality of life or help offset rising costs in advanced retirement.

     - **Section:** understanding-savvly
     - **Question:** Is Savvly an insurance policy or annuity?
     - **Answer:** No. Savvly is not insurance and not an annuity. It's built on a low-cost S&P 500 index fund and distributes more proceeds to investors who live longer. Unlike life insurance, it pays you while you're still alive. Unlike Long Term Care insurance where you need to be sick to get paid, with Savvly, being alive at your payout age is enough.

     - **Question:** How does Savvly work?
     - **Answer:** Contributions are pooled together and invested in a low-cost S&P 500 ETF (Vanguard's VOO). Savvly allocates unused payouts to participants who live to their target payout ages, giving them greater returns than the market alone. By combining market-based growth with actuarial pooling, Savvly creates the potential for a financial windfall later in life.

The Savvly Longevity Benefit can be set up in a qualified or non-qualified account, helping employees keep more to grow and preserve retirement wealth.

     - **Section:** the-problem
     - **Question:** Why should we care about longevity as an employer?
     - **Answer:** Living longer is good news, but it also means employers face rising healthcare costs, stretched savings, and gaps in traditional retirement plans. Traditional investment strategies haven't caught up to retirement realities, life expectancies, or inflation risks. Retirement planning has a blind spot.

     - **Answer:** Savvly is a pooled longevity benefit funded by employers and/or optional employee contributions.

     - **Question:** What is Savvly?
     - **Answer:** Savvly is an SEC-registered security offering longevity protection. Your contributions are invested in a low-cost S&P 500 ETF from Vanguard (VOO), held in custody at U.S. Bank. At milestone ages (80, 85, 90, and 95), you receive structured payouts that include both your market growth and an additional benefit from the longevity pool.

     - **Question:** Is Savvly an annuity?
     - **Answer:** No. Savvly is NOT an annuity and NOT insurance. It is an SEC-registered security — a capital markets structure. Unlike annuities, your money is invested in S&P 500 ETFs with full market participation (no caps or floors), you maintain an early withdrawal option, and there is no insurance company bearing counterparty risk. The longevity benefit comes from the pool structure itself, not from an insurance guarantee.

     - **Section:** investment-custody
     - **Question:** How does the longevity pool work?
     - **Answer:** When investors exit the pool before reaching a payout milestone (through early withdrawal or death), their unused share may be allocated to remaining investors. This creates an additional return above pure market performance — the longer you stay, the more you potentially benefit. This is conceptually similar to mortality credits / longevity-risk pooling, but structured as a modern SEC-registered fund.

     - **Audience:** general
     - **Section:** payouts
     - **Question:** When and how do payouts work?
     - **Answer:** Savvly distributes payouts at four milestone ages: 40% at age 80, 30% at age 85, 20% at age 90, and 10% at age 95. Each payout includes your market growth plus the longevity pool allocation benefit. Payouts are potential outcomes based on fund participation, market performance, and pool dynamics — they are not guaranteed.

     - **Answer:** No. Payouts are potential outcomes, not guarantees. They depend on S&P 500 market performance, the size and behavior of the longevity pool, and how long you remain invested. Unlike a fixed annuity, Savvly does not guarantee a specific dollar amount — but it also does not cap your upside.

     - **Section:** withdrawals-estate
     - **Question:** What happens if I withdraw early?
     - **Answer:** You can withdraw before reaching a payout milestone. The early withdrawal value is calculated as: 75% of your contribution plus an additional 1% for each year held, capped at 100%. This percentage is applied to whichever is lower: your original investment or the current market value. For example, after 10 years you would receive 85% of the lesser value.

     - **Answer:** Savvly's annual fund operating expenses are 55 bps (0.55%) per year on common (purchased) shares and 110 bps (1.10%) per year on tracking (allocated) shares. Because each participant holds a blend of the two, the blended annual fund operating expense is typically estimated in the 55-80 bps range depending on the mix. All return and payout illustrations published by Savvly are presented net of these operating expenses. Even at the high end, Savvly's all-in cost is significantly lower than variable annuities (2-3.5%+) or indexed annuities (0.5-2%+).

- **Hypothetical Only:** All illustrations, examples, and case studies are hypothetical and are intended to demonstrate potential scenarios — not to predict or guarantee actual outcomes. They do not represent the performance of any individual investor, portfolio, or account.
- **Key Assumptions:**
  - Life expectancy and mortality projections are based on the most recent Social Security Administration (SSA) tables available at the time of simulation.
  - In the event of death or early withdrawal, hypothetical scenarios assume that beneficiaries may receive 75% of the lesser of the initial investment or current market value, plus 1% for each full year the account was active.
  - Case studies assume standardized market growth of 8% annually and do not incorporate unexpected market volatility, inflation, changes in interest rates, or changes in an investor's personal circumstances.
  - Simulations may assume a 3% annual early withdrawal rate prior to payout or death.
  - All figures shown are net of fees.
- **Risks:**
  1.
     - **Name:** Market Risk
     - **Text:** Investment values will fluctuate and may be worth more or less than the amount invested. There are no guaranteed returns.
  2.
     - **Name:** Sequence of Returns Risk
     - **Text:** The order and timing of market gains or losses — particularly near the payout phase — can materially affect results.
  3.
     - **Name:** Longevity Risk
     - **Text:** Living longer than projected may reduce the pooled benefit per participant; shorter-than-expected lifespans may affect the amount received.
  4.
     - **Name:** Redemption Impact
     - **Text:** Early or voluntary withdrawals by other participants can impact overall fund performance and distribution outcomes.
- **No Reliance:** No forecast, projection, or hypothetical return should be relied upon as a promise or representation of future performance. Investors should carefully evaluate their own circumstances and consult a qualified financial professional before making any investment decision.
- **Market Drawdown Note:** The Fund holds S&P 500 ETFs and does not hedge; there is no downside-protection overlay. U.S. large-cap equities have repeatedly seen drawdowns of 30% or more.
- **Fee Drag Note:** A 0.55% annual fee compounded over ~30 years reduces a position by roughly 15% versus a fee-free baseline; the Class B sales load of up to 6.75% is the largest single fee a participant may pay.
- **Participant Base Note:** A longevity product may attract people who expect to live long (pulling actual mortality below the population average and shrinking the bonus); and in the early years a small participant base produces noisier quarter-to-quarter allocations, narrowing as the base grows.
- **Fund Structure:** Unlike traditional mutual funds or exchange-traded funds (ETFs), Savvly operates a unique registered closed-end fund structure. Savvly may be appropriate for investors primarily concerned with ensuring sufficient capital for the later years of retirement. It may not be suitable for investors whose primary objective is short-term growth. Because payouts are linked to the life of the investor, individuals with serious or life-threatening health conditions should carefully consider whether this investment is appropriate. Savvly is not an insurance company. Savvly investments are not insurance or annuity contracts and do not provide the protections of insurance laws. Payouts from Savvly are not guaranteed, are not backed by an insurance company or any third party, and are not subject to counterparty risk from Savvly, as investors retain title to assets in the underlying fund in the event Savvly ceases operations. The long-term total return of Savvly may be affected by market volatility, sequence of returns risk, mortality experience, and actual redemption rates, all of which may increase or decrease over time.

## Projections & Assumptions

- **Methodology:** Payout methodology — Savvly vs market alone: the payout values are calculated by comparing two investors of the same age committing the same principal. Investor 1 invests in the market with the Savvly Longevity Benefit; Investor 2 invests in the market alone (no longevity overlay). To make the comparison apples-to-apples, at each milestone age (80, 85, 90, 95) Investor 2 withdraws from their market alone portfolio the same dollar amount Investor 1 receives as a payout from Savvly. The `payout_market_alone_*` and `total_market_alone_*` figures are therefore what Investor 2 can actually withdraw to match Savvly's payouts before running out — they fall to 0 once the market alone portfolio is depleted. The `savvly_upside_*` (and `total_savvly_upside_*`) fields quantify how much more total money Investor 1 receives in payouts from Savvly than Investor 2 is able to withdraw over time to match those payouts.

## Registration Statement (Form N-2/A)

- **Filing:** Form N-2/A (Pre-effective Amendment No. 7), filed 2026-05-29
- **Registrant:** Savvly 80+ (alias Savvly Fund #3) — a registered closed-end management investment company organized as a fund of funds under the Investment Company Act of 1940; continuous offering after the effective date.
- **Shares:** Not exchange-listed; may not be transferred except within permitted tax-deferred arrangements; issued in book-entry form only (no certificates).
- **Objective:** Long-term results that, before expenses, correspond generally to the price performance of the S&P 500 Index, enhanced for investors who stay invested and reach their payout ages (changeable by the Board on >=60 days' notice).
- **Strategy:** Invests substantially all assets in low-cost S&P 500 ETFs (e.g., Vanguard's VOO); may in future use an affiliated ETF or hold securities directly.
- **Enhancement:** Comes from early-withdrawal penalties retained by the Fund (the 'excess value'), allocated to remaining investors' Tracking Shares. If no other investors withdraw early or die, an investor's return is not enhanced.
- **Units:** An investment is in Units composed of Common Shares and Tracking Shares.
- **Common Shares:** Track the underlying ETFs; offered as Class A and Class B (Class B is sold via broker-dealers, who may charge a sales load).
- **Tracking Shares:** $0.01 liquidation preference; a deferred repurchase price built from excess-value allocations; cumulative dividends of 0.01%/yr.
- **Asset Coverage:** Because the Tracking Shares carry a liquidation preference, the Fund must maintain 200% asset coverage for them at all times — the value attributable to Common Shares must always be at least equal to the value of the outstanding Tracking Shares. If the two approach each other, the Fund must act to restore the ratio, which can include pausing the quarterly allocation to the Tracking Shares. It is a hard regulatory ceiling on how large the longevity bonus can grow relative to the underlying shares.
- **Payout Timing:** Payout dates fall at the end of the quarter in which the investor turns 80, 85, 90, and 95; weighting 40% / 30% / 20% / 10% of the investor's pre-payout Units/Common Shares.
- **Payout Delivery:** In-kind distributions of Portfolio ETFs (investor needs a brokerage account); ETFs carry unrealized capital gains and remain subject to market risk after delivery. An investor may decline a payout and stay invested, taking it later on 3 months' notice. Not guaranteed and not possible until age 80.
- **Early Withdrawal:** Within 30 days of the first investment: NAV of Common Shares + $0.10 for Tracking Shares, no penalty. After 30 days: the lesser of (i) 75% of the original dollar invested (net of sales load) or (ii) 75% of the NAV of the related Common Shares; the 75% rises 1 pp/yr up to 100% (reaching 100% at 25 years). A full early withdrawer receives no value for Tracking Shares. On death before a payout age, the estate receives the early-withdrawal amount.
- **Penalty:** The forfeited penalty equals all gains (less prior payouts) plus up to 25% of the lesser of cost (net of sales load) or NAV; the 25% declines 1 pp/yr to zero.
- **Eligibility:** No new investors over age 75 (first payout at 80; none within 5 years of investing); the filing states no minimum age. Max investment per investor: the larger of $300,000 or 0.1% of Fund assets (waivable). May be held in tax-deferred arrangements (IRA, Keogh, 401(k)) via an approved trustee where in-kind distributions and individual tracking are permitted. Payment in U.S. dollars on a domestic bank; no cash/money orders; broker-dealers may set their own minimums.
- **Tax:** Intends to qualify as a Regulated Investment Company (RIC) under Subchapter M (distribute >=90% of investment company taxable income; meet source-of-income and asset-diversification tests). Distributions taxable as ordinary income or capital gain unless held tax-deferred; reinvested distributions (DRP) are still currently taxable (phantom income); in-kind ETF payouts carry unrealized capital gains.
- **Principal Risks:**
  - Stock Market Investment Risk
  - Fund of Funds Risk (two layers of advisory fees)
  - No History of Operations Risk
  - New Investment Advisor Risk
  - Administration of New Fund Structure
  - Timing of Payment Dates & In-Kind Distribution Risk
  - Cybersecurity Risk
  - Natural Disaster/Epidemic Risk
  - AIFM Directive Risk
  - Tax Risks (Phantom Income, Required Minimum Withdrawals, RIC Status, Excise Tax)
- **Wind Down:** If Savvly, Inc. ceases operations, the Board will transfer management to another asset manager or direct the custodian to distribute Portfolio ETF shares directly to investors for their Common and Tracking Shares.
- **Illustration Basis:** The prospectus's illustrative figures use an average 5% annual S&P 500 return; the MCP projection tools default to an 8% return assumption.

## Investor Disclosure Summary

- **Plain Language Summary:**
  - Longevity hedge: investors' money tracks the S&P 500, but those who live into their 80s and beyond earn enhanced returns.
  - Enhanced returns come from early exits: investors who die or withdraw voluntarily forfeit all of their gains — and up to 25% of their original investment — and those amounts are allocated to remaining investors (5% of the forfeited amount is the allocation expense to Savvly Advisor, LLC).
  - Payouts come in four chunks — 40% / 30% / 20% / 10% at ages 80, 85, 90, and 95. Later slices are smaller percentages but can be the largest dollar amounts (more time to grow and more forfeited amounts absorbed).
  - Money is locked until payouts (the first at age 80); early withdrawal means losing all gains and possibly some principal. Designed for savings the investor won't need for decades.
  - Not insurance, no guarantees: returns depend on the stock market and how many investors exit early.
  - Real risks: a market crash hurts everyone; if investors live longer than expected, fewer early exits mean smaller allocations and lower enhanced returns; heirs of investors who die before 80 get back far less than the investment was worth.
- **Illustrative Example:** Investor aged 50, $1,000 in Savvly 80+ (assumes 5% average annual S&P 500 return and an SSA-aligned death-probability distribution as of March 2026). The $1,000 buys 4 Units (40%/30%/20%/10% at ages 80/85/90/95). If the investor reaches 95, the four payouts total ~$16,000 (~$4,800 from Common Shares, ~$11,200 from Tracking-Share allocations). Total expenses through the last payout are ~$1,750 (~$470 Common-Share annual @55bps, ~$690 Tracking-Share annual @110bps, ~$590 one-off 5% payout expense). Allocations received by this investor total ~$470 paid to Savvly Advisor, LLC.

- **How It Operates:**
  - On a first investment, the Fund issues four Units, each with Common Shares (underlying ETFs the Fund acquires) and Tracking Shares (which track ETF shares allocated to remaining investors out of Excess Value in future quarterly allocations).
  - Additional investments add more Common Shares (with underlying ETFs). The Fund receives cash dividends from the underlying ETFs; under the Dividend Reinvestment Plan, net dividends (after operating expenses and fees) are reinvested in additional Common Shares.
  - At each early withdrawal, the investor or their estate receives an in-kind distribution of their Early Withdrawal Amount; the remaining ETFs underlying their Units stay in the Fund as Excess Value and are allocated quarterly to other investors' Tracking-Share Deferred Repurchase Price (after the 5% allocation expense to Savvly Advisor, LLC).
  - At a Unit's payout age, the S&P 500 ETFs underlying that Unit (both Common and Tracking) are distributed in kind after payout expenses.
  - The Units and shares have no prior trading history and no trading market is permitted to develop; not suitable for investors who cannot tolerate loss or who need liquidity beyond early withdrawal and the Fund's payouts.
  - Operating structure: Savvly Advisor, LLC manages Savvly 80+, which holds (a) S&P 500 ETFs underlying Common Shares, (b) S&P 500 ETFs reserved for Tracking-Share payouts, and (c) Excess Value allocated quarterly to the Tracking Shares; inflows are investments, outflows are investors' payouts and early withdrawals.

## Status

- **Stage:** pre-launch
- **Exemptive Relief Date:** 2026-04-15
- **Commercial Operations:** Preparing to begin commercial operations through advisor and employer channels in the second half of 2026.
- **Scale Note:** Savvly is not yet at scale. Any operating data, assets, or participant counts are projections or pre-launch estimates.

## Actuarial

- **Basis:** The mechanism is fixed actuarial methodology disclosed in the prospectus and applied identically to everyone — it is NOT artificial intelligence. Each quarter the Fund applies the SSA's published mortality tables to participant ages and allocates the value retained from early exits in proportion to each remaining participant's adjusted risk. Savvly's AI work sits only at the distribution layer (how participants and advisors reach the Fund), not in how the allocation is calculated.
- **Gender Neutral:** Uses a simple average of male and female life expectancy from the SSA tables (not gender-specific tables), keeping the calculation identical for every participant of the same age and preserving fairness across participants.
- **Longevity Factor:** The Fund publishes a longevity factor each quarter for every age, so any participant (or a qualified actuary) can independently verify the allocation to their own Tracking Shares. The math is auditable — the methodology is in the prospectus, the factor is published quarterly, and the SSA tables are public.
