With Profits Fund

We've produced a number of documents on our With-Profits Fund. The contents are summarised below so you can decide which one is suitable for you. We've also provided links to up-to-date information on bonus rates and market value reductions (MVRs).

We're committed to treating all of our customers fairly. To ensure that we do this we have an independent With-Profits Committee. The Committee reviews how the with-profits fund is managed and scrutinises any major proposal that affects the fund. It provides advice directly to the Clerical Medical Board.

The Committee has four members, none of whom have any management or executive role with the company (or our parent company, Lloyds Banking Group). Two members are non-executive directors.

For further information about what the With-Profits Committee does, you can read the terms of reference (PDF, 103KB).

Principles and Practices of Financial Management (PPFM)

The PPFM goes into great detail, focusing on the standards, methods and controls we adopt to ensure we run with-profits robustly and fairly. It also explains how we respond to changes in the business and economic environment.
