International With-Profit Bond from Aviva Product details at a glance The International With-Profit Bond from Aviva is a single premium investment bond with no fixed term. It is designed to be a medium to long-term investment and should not be viewed as a short-term commitment. The international With-Profit Funds are reinsured into Aviva’s With-Profit Fund. This means that investors enjoy all the benefits of a well established With-Profit Fund from the largest insurance services provider in the UK. The value of an investment can go down as well as up and is not guaranteed. A market value reduction may apply if the quoted value of units plus any final bonus is high compared to the market value of your client’s share of the investments in the fund at that time when units are sold. A market value reduction is most likely to be applied following a large or sustained fall in the stockmarket or where investment returns are below the level expected. However, we may apply an individual market value reduction irrespective of what, if any, general market value reduction is applying if we think it’s necessary to protect investors. Offshore funds can grow in a very tax-efficient environment. Your client will also have control over the timing of any withdrawals and thus any potential income tax liability. The future basis and rates of tax may vary.

Regular withdrawals ■ Taking regular withdrawals greater than the growth of a bond, after charges, can result in a reduction in its capital value. An individual’s tax position should be considered before deciding the level of regular withdrawals to take. ■ If selected at the outset, the maximum withdrawal is 7.5% of the single premium. If selected at a later stage, the maximum is the lower of: – 7.5% each year of the money originally invested or – 7.5% each year of the value of the bond on the day we get the request, excluding any final bonus or market value reduction. ■ Withdrawals up to 5% a year are market value reduction free, if selected at outset or at a time when no market value reduction is applying and no decision had been taken to apply one. If withdrawals are greater than 5%, any market value reduction will apply to the whole amount withdrawn. ■ If your client cancels their regular withdrawal and then requests a new regular withdrawal, they will have to pay a market value reduction on their new withdrawal if there is one applying at the time. ■ Minimum: £50/€75/$75 per payment Partial withdrawals ■ Taking a partial withdrawal in excess of 5% of the original amount invested in any one policy year may give rise to an immediate liability to income tax. ■ In the first five years, early cash-in charges will not apply provided that at least 20% of the money originally invested across all segments is kept in the bond. It should be noted that making a large partial withdrawal may have tax implications. ■ Minimum: £1,000/€1,500/$1,500 Bid/offer charges None Establishment charge 1.4% a year of the money originally invested, not the growing fund value, taken monthly for a period of five years. Management charge 1% a year. Early cash-in charge An early cash-in charge will apply if an individual policy, or the entire bond is cashed in during the first five years.
