Executive Investment Bond

The Executive Investment Bond is a flexible lump sum whole-life investment. It allows you to take advantage of a wide range of investment opportunities and offers the convenience of holding all your assets in one portfolio.

Benefits


Ability to hold an extensive choice of assets in your policy.

Option to delegate fund management responsibilities by appointing a fund adviser.

Option to select a custodian by using the selected custodian facility.

Easy access to capital – total or part surrender at any time with the option to take regular withdrawals to provide an ‘income’.

Competitive choice of charges.

Paperwork and record keeping made easy.

Invest and denominate your policy in one of a range of the world’s major currencies.

Death benefit of 101% of the surrender value of the policy at no extra cost.

An early encashment charge may apply if the Bond is encashed in the early years.

Tax-efficient growth


Whichever investment you select, growth can be achieved tax-efficiently. As Royal Skandia is based on the Isle of Man, it is not currently liable to any form of tax in respect of the income and gains on policyholder funds. This means that, with the exception of certain investment income that may be subject to a tax deduction in its country of origin, the Executive Investment Bond will grow tax-free. Policyholders may be liable to taxation on any gains made on the Account.

Policyholder protection and peace of mind


Of all the major offshore centres, only the Isle of Man has a statutory compensation scheme for life assurance companies. This means that Royal Skandia investors benefit from unrivalled protection.

Investors should be aware that the value of unit-linked contracts is not guaranteed and the prices of units can fall as well as rise. Where a fund invests in securities designated in a different currency to the fund, the value of the fund may rise and fall purely as a result of exchange rate fluctuations. Royal Skandia can give no guarantee that tax reliefs and the tax treatment of funds will remain the same in the future. The value of any reliefs will depend on individuals' circumstances.
