Bonds are investment policies that can run for either a set term or indefinitely. Some bonds also allow you to draw a regular income.
It’s also possible for bonds to provide life insurance. This could be based on the value of the policy, or how old the person covered is when they die.
Types of bonds
Bonds can work in different ways:
Money paid into the bond buys units in one or more investment funds. The value of these units can go up or down in line with the investments that make up the fund, affecting the final value when money is taken.
Money paid into the bond is invested in a with-profits fund, together with the savings of other policyholders. Bonuses are then added to the policy, depending on how the investments in the with-profits fund perform. These bonds normally have a minimum final value (known as the sum assured) which is added to any bonuses due when money is taken.
