Offshore With-Profits
The Offshore With-Profits Fund is a part of Clerical Medical Investment Group Limited's
With-Profits Fund, and the operation of this fund has a direct impact on your investment.
Under a reinsurance agreement we pass a part of each investment to Clerical Medical
Investment Group Limited to be invested in its With-Profits Fund. When an investor
takes money out of the Offshore With-Profits Fund, Clerical Medical Investment Group
Limited passes back the amount payable out of its With-Profits Fund. In this way
policies invested in the Offshore With Profits Fund may share in the profits earned
in the Clerical Medical Investment Group Limited With Profits Fund.
Depending on the currency of investment, separate groups of assets are used to set
bonus levels for different groups of investors, investing in different types of
with-profits funds.
An offshore with-profits investment is a medium to long-term investment designed
to generate capital growth and provide some guarantees over the medium to long term
and also provide some stability against market ups and downs in the short term.
The guarantees vary between products and funds. Withdrawals from the Offshore With-Profits
Fund when a guarantee doesn't apply, could mean you get back less than you invested.
