The Investment Bond is a lump sum investment with an element of life cover that can provide you with capital growth potential or an income over the medium to long-term, typically a period of at least five years.

You will have already started your plan with an investment of at least £10,000, so what are the main features available to you now?

• You can make additional payments of £1,000+ at any time
• It offers potential growth plus income options
• You can get up to 5% tax-deferred income each year
• You can choose from a range of regular and one-off withdrawal options
• No early withdrawal charge on withdrawals up to 7.5% each year of your total cash investment
• You can pick from a wide range of investment funds to meet your individual investment objectives
• You benefit from the investment expertise of some of the UK’s most highly respected fund managers
• You can switch between funds at any time – currently free of charge.

The value of the investment, and any income from it, can go down as well as up as a result of market movements. You may get back less than you invested.
