i Your Tax-Free & Friendly Bond i Things you should consider
  • Start a regular savings habit using your tax-free savings allowance, investing £15 to £25 a month for 10 years.
  • Invest more and Scottish Friendly will deduct tax on your behalf. All investments will pay out free of any taxes after 10 years.
  • Your plan invests in the Scottish Friendly With-Profits Fund which is managed across a range of assets such as the stock market, bonds, cash and property.
  • You get a guaranteed minimum cash sum after 10 years at least equal to all your premiums.
  • Your guaranteed minimum cash sum can grow through the addition of regular bonuses.
  • Your guaranteed minimum cash sum may also be increased by a final bonus which is related to the investment performance of the Scottish Friendly With-Profits Fund.
  • No profits are paid to city shareholders meaning they can be reinvested for the benefit of Scottish Friendly customers.
  • A small amount of life cover is automatically included.
  • Tax-free means the fund your plan invests in grows free of income and capital gains tax (other than tax on dividends from UK shares).
  • Tax treatment depends on your individual circumstances and tax law may change in the future.
  • If you cash in your plan early, you may not get back as much as you have paid in. If you cash in within the first 2 years, you will get nothing back.
  • Future bonus levels depend on investment returns and expenses and how Scottish Friendly decides to distribute profits to customers. As such, they cannot be guaranteed in advance.
  • The cost of life cover is included as a small part of the plan’s charges. The cost of life cover is higher for older ages.
  • To apply, you need to be a UK resident aged between 16 and 54.
