Capital Investment bonds are designed to give capital growth and/or income over the medium to long term with access to your money by taking regular or one off withdrawals. Most bonds are designed for investment over at least five years. If you cash in your investment before that time, you are likely to be charged an early-surrender penalty.
Bonds are set up through insurance companies without the need for a check on your health status. Bonds can be opened onshore (within the UK) or offshore to take advantage of tax concessions. The decision will depend on your personal tax situation.
There are no maximum limits to invest, but barriers to entry can start higher than other investments, with a £15,000 entry point being not untypical.
Drawing down income from a capital investment bond can be an option, though obviously any income drawn down will deplete the original capital if the amount withdrawn exceeds the capital growth of the bond. You may be able, depending on the policy, to make additional payments to the bond at any time, as well as one-off withdrawals. With a capital investment bond an investor could make a profit from stock market upturns.
Capital investment bonds have management charges and these vary. They are usually levied as an annual fund charge or even as an initial charge and early encashment charge.
THE VALUE OF INVESTMENTS AND THE INCOME FROM THEM MAY GO DOWN. YOU MAY NOT GET BACK THE ORIGINAL AMOUNT INVESTED. TAX PLANNING ADVICE ISN’T REGULATED BY THE FINANCIAL CONDUCT AUTHORITY.
IFA Financial Services have provided me with mortgage and pension advice over a number of years. They have consistently provided a highly professional and efficient service in an extremely friendly and approachable manner. Advice, whenever needed, is readily given and clearly explained. I feel that my financial affairs are in very safe hands and on this basis I would recommend then to anyone.
The staff were very friendly and helpful to ease us through this process. Thank you all very much for sorting out this for me and if I need any help in the future I know where to come.
Allowing IFA to guide my husband and I with our finances is one of the best decisions I have made. I feel secure with arrangements for my pension and savings. You know they are genuinely interested in helping when they advise you to leaving certain savings where they are rather than them taking control.
I had paid little attention to my pension arrangements during a working life where I ran several of my own companies and was both was self-employed and an employee for periods. Frankly I was suspicious of “financial advisers” during the bad old days of the 70s, 80s and 90s when they were nothing more than insurance salesman more motivated by commission payments than their clients’ well-being.
We were recommended to IFA by a friend as I was in need of advice about my pension arrangements. I am happy to say that the advice we received has proved very beneficial and although our circumstances have changed quite a few times since our first meeting in 2016 we have found IFA to be helpful in discussing our new needs and prompt in meeting our requirements.
