Cleverly combine tax-free and tax paid savings £15 a month
i Your Regular Savings Plan i Things you should consider
  • Start a regular savings plan of up to £50 a month.
  • The first £25 of any premium will be tax-free. 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 stockmarket, bonds, cash and property.
  • You get a guaranteed minimum cash sum after 10 years.
  • Your guaranteed minimum cash sum can grow through the addition of regular bonuses.
  • Your guaranteed minimum cash sum may 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 future.
  • If you cash in your plan before the end of 10 years, you could get back less than you have paid in. If you cash in within the first 23 months, you will get nothing back.
  • The amount of your guaranteed minimum cash sum depends on your age and how much you pay in. It will initially be less than your total investment over 10 years.
  • 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.
  • 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 55.
