How much we charge depends on the guarantee(s) you’ve selected, your choice of funds and when the bond was taken out. Your 'Policy schedule' will clearly show what guarantee options you chose. Please note that our policy conditions allow us to change our charges in certain conditions.
To find out the charges that apply to your bond, you should first check the number that appears on 'Your policy conditions' booklet and then view the details below corresponding to the number.
Annual management charge
The annual management charge is specific to the fund(s) you’re invested in.

|---|---|
| UK Cash fund | 0.50% |

Guarantee option fee
If the bond is invested in a mixture of the Core Portfolios and/or UK Cash fund, we’ll calculate the percentage fee proportionately. Each quarter, we’ll average the daily percentage fees and apply them to the bond.
We’ll apply the fee as a percentage of the guaranteed capital value. The guarantee option fee will be deducted assuming there’s a fund value. At the end of your guaranteed capital term, we stop deducting the guarantee option fee.
