Benefits associated with your bond
You can control the tax point by choosing when to take the benefits, which can be
useful if you become a lower rate tax payer or if you have moved to a different
country with a lower tax rate.
If you invest in a bond and you are a UK tax payer, you can currently withdraw up to
5% of your original investment each year for up to 20 years, without triggering a
chargeable event. This can be a tax efficient way of taking an 'income' from your
bond. This benefit is cumulative, so you can carry forward your 5% allowance if you
don't use it each year.
Useful information to help you manage your bond
If you wish to switch you can choose from any of the available funds. For more information
on each fund, please read the fund factsheets and fund guide.
You can switch between the available funds up to 12 times per calendar year free
of charge. Any additional switches are currently charged at 1% of the value of the
units being switched, subject to a minimum charge of 10 and a maximum charge of
250.
The following funds are available under your bond. Please read the fund factsheets

Before choosing an alternative fund or funds, you need to determine your attitude
to risk. Using the table below find the statement in the left hand column which
best describes your attitude to risk; this gives you an idea as to the risk rating
in the right hand column that you can use to select the fund(s) that suit your investment
needs. Please remember that the risk category of each fund is the opinion of Clerical
Medical and may not necessarily match your own perceptions of risk.
Please note: If you switch out of an Offshore With-Profits Fund or a Guaranteed
Growth Fund, a Market Value Adjuster may apply.
