• your client can regularly withdraw money from the bond without charge.
• withdrawals can be targeted at one or more funds whilst leaving others untouched or spread across all funds.
• the option to add “top ups” to the investment. When determining the charges for the top up we will take into account the total premium and not just the value of the top up.
• your client can benefit from a loyalty bonus. This is payable as an addition of bonus units should the premium remain invested for a sufficient length of time.
• we offer a Share Exchange Scheme for your clients to enable them to convert an existing stocks and shares portfolio into a Flexible Investment Bond.
We can offer you:
• a fully flexible structure to meet your clients specific requirements;
• a structure that lets you select your own commission and charges;
• a choice of initial commission up to 7% of premium;
• trail commission up to 1% p.a. paid monthly which can be stopped, started and varied at any time;
• a no commission option if you work on a fee basis.
The Flexible Investment Bond is backed by our Service Charter that commits us to provide an excellent service to you and your client. This includes non performance penalties – if we don’t keep our promises, we will pay you.
Please note that past performance is not a guide for the future. The value of units can fall as well as rise and currency fluctuations may also affect performance.
