A quick guide to the Investment Bond

• Invest a lump sum between £1,000 - £150,000
• Guaranteed minimum return of your original investment plus 3% after five years
• Bonuses are calculated based on the guaranteed amount
• Money is invested in our managed with-profits fund
• Open ended term – a surrender penalty will apply if you cash in the policy in the first five years
• You cannot make withdrawals from this policy, if you want to take an income from your investment please have a look at our Income Bond

If you surrender in the first five years a surrender penalty will apply, meaning you may get back less than you invested. Tax treatment depends on individual circumstances and may be subject to change in the future.

Bonuses are not guaranteed and depend on the performance of the with-profits fund.

Great growth potential and peace of mind for your investment

We invest in a range of low to medium risk assets with the aim of providing higher returns than would be achieved with a bank or building society.

We suggest a minimum term of five years, otherwise an early surrender penalty may apply and you could get back less than you invested.

Bonuses are not guaranteed and depend on the performance of the with-profits fund.
