Important information about guarantees
When we talk about guarantees, there are a few important things you need to remember:
- When we talk about a guarantee or guarantees, we mean the promise we make that the product or feature will deliver you a certain benefit.
- It's important to know that any guarantee is based on the ability of the issuing insurance company - in this case Scottish Equitable plc - to pay it. If, for example, that company no longer existed - then the guarantee(s) would be affected.
- It does cost a bit extra for guarantees. It's much like paying for the things you insure on a day-to-day basis just now. The cost of guarantees will depend on where you invest your money.
- If you decide to cash in the plan, then the guarantee(s) will no longer apply. We don't offer a guaranteed cash-in value, so you could get back less than you originally invested.
Scottish Equitable plc run a sophisticated, prudent programme that aims to allow us to honour the guarantees we make to you. Your financial adviser will be able to give you information on we do this.
Guarantee your income
Investment Control also has a unique income option:
- 5% income for 20 years, or less for longer if you prefer
- a guaranteed death benefit, and
- a guaranteed benefit to lock in any potential growth on your bond
Please remember, the value of investments can fall as well as rise and is not guaranteed. If AEGON secure income option isn't selected, you could get back less than you originally invested.
