Other Features:

Charges
  • 1.4% of the money originally invested, not the growing fund value, taken monthly for a period of five years
  • 1% Management fee
80% Penalty-free withdrawal
  • At any time you may request a partial withdrawal across all identical clusters in the policy without an Exit fee (but not necessarily without a potential liability to income tax and an MVR). During the first five years of the policy, the value of units remaining in the policy must not be less than 20% of the money you originally invested in order to avoid an Exit fee, i.e. 80% is potentially available to withdraw penalty free


  • Regular withdrawals up to 5% per year of the money you originally invested are free of an MVR provided:
    • you choose to take regular withdrawals at the start of your policy, or
    • You choose to take regular withdrawals after the start of your policy and no MVR was applying on the date of your regular withdrawal application and no decision had been taken by us to apply one. If you withdraw more than 5% per year, any future MVR will apply to the whole amount withdraw.

10-year Money-back guarantee
  • You will get a value at least equal to the original payment you made including the charges that have been deducted if you cash in your policy on the tenth anniversary (or during the subsequent two-week period) of your policy. The money-back guarantee from Aviva does not apply unless you move out of the funds on the guarantee dates. Making regular or one-off withdrawals will reduce the amount guaranteed in proportion to the number of units cancelled. Any units cancelled to meet charges will not reduce the guarantees.

We would like to wish you all a Happy Christmas and a Prosperous 2008!!
