CMI Global Investor  
 

CMI Global Investor is an offshore bond (a lump sum investment) with an element of life cover designed for those who have a minimum of £100,000 to invest – ideally for five years or more.

It offers virtually unlimited choice of investments, from over 180 leading investment groups worldwide. So, your portfolios can be built and managed to meet current and future financial needs with the minimum amount of administrative burden.

So, what are the main features?
You have access to the funds of over 180 international investment groups, potentially giving you more than 9,500 funds to choose from.
You benefit from a streamlined service for buying and selling investments with just one form to fill in. As full anti-money laundering is completed when the bond is set up, you don't need to do this each time you make changes to your investment.
You can take a regular 'income' from the bond at any time. 'Income' is treated as the withdrawal of capital for tax purposes.
Your bond is automatically set up as a series of individual policy segments, designed to give you maximum flexibility and the ability to minimise tax.
You can switch the first 20 transactions between external funds each year, and all switches between the CMI Insurance funds and Clerical Medical OEIC funds. All are currently free of charge.
You can choose from five charging structures.
You benefit from being able to switch assets without incurring any tax although tax rules can change.
It's equally suitable for individual investors, pension trustees, trust business and corporate investors.
You can choose to manage the investment yourself or you can appoint an investment adviser or discretionary manager to do so for you.
Our specially trained and experienced staff will take care of your investment administration and you will have a single designated point of contact.

The value of an investment can go up and down as a result of market and currency movements. You may get back less than you invested.
