El producto en detalle

Most investment products assume the client already has capital. This one assumes they have income. A regular premium contract builds a portfolio out of monthly contributions, which is how the majority of people who eventually have a portfolio actually got one.

The design problem with regular saving is that life interrupts it. A contract that lapses when a client stops paying for six months punishes exactly the events — a redundancy, a move, a new child — that make saving hard. So this contract allows contribution holidays of up to twenty-four months in total without lapsing, and allows contributions to be increased, decreased or indexed as circumstances change.

Capital top-ups sit alongside the regular premium, which means a bonus or a small inheritance can go into the same contract rather than starting another one. Over a fifteen-year term that consolidation is worth having: one contract, one statement, one set of instructions.

Cómo funciona

Qué ocurre, en orden

Desde la primera consulta hasta el momento en que la cobertura, el contrato o la línea queda en vigor.

  1. A contribution and a term are set

    From £500 a month, over a minimum five-year term, monthly, quarterly or annually. Indexation at CPI or a fixed percentage is optional at outset.

  2. Contributions buy units in the insured fund range

    The adviser selects the funds, and switching between them is free.

  3. Contributions can be varied, or paused

    Increased, decreased, or suspended for up to twenty-four months in total across the life of the contract without lapsing it.

  4. Top-ups from capital go into the same contract

    So a lump sum does not require a second wrapper, a second statement and a second set of instructions.

Un ejemplo resuelto

Cálculos ilustrativos, para que la forma del producto se vea en lugar de describirse. Nada de lo que aquí figura es una oferta ni una proyección.

£500 a month for ten years, with a year off

Contributions only. No growth is assumed, because the purpose of this arithmetic is to show what a holiday costs, and that is a question about contributions rather than about markets.

In force

Illustrative arithmetic on contributions, not a projection of value. What a holiday really costs is the growth those contributions would have had, which is unknowable — the £6,000 is simply the part that can be stated.

Contributions accumulated over a long term

£500 a month, uninterrupted, at four points in a twenty-year term.

Contributions only, with no investment return of any kind. It is a picture of persistence rather than of performance, and it is drawn that way on purpose: the contributions are the part the client controls.

Idoneidad

  • A long horizon — ten years or more — where indexation keeps the contribution meaningful.

Preguntas

Lo que los corredores nos preguntan sobre este producto

What happens if a client stops paying?

Up to twenty-four months of cumulative holidays are allowed without lapsing the contract. Beyond that the contract is dealt with under its own terms, so tell us before the payments stop rather than after.

Can contributions be increased later?

Yes, and indexation can be added or removed. A contribution that never rises is worth less every year in real terms, which is why the option exists.

Can a lump sum go in?

Yes. Top-ups from capital are accepted alongside the regular premium, in the same contract.
