Offshore bonds

Investment bonds can be used to provide you with an income, allowing you to invest in a number of funds which are collectively managed by professional investment managers.

Bonds can be onshore and offshore:

• Offshore investment bond – investment vehicles that only provide nominal life cover. Typically, 1% of the bid value of the units attached to the policy at the date of death. Investment is in a limited selection of collective funds
• Offshore portfolio investment bond – a more flexible version of the offshore, allowing a wider selection of collective investment funds

We assess over 19 criteria when rating offshore investment bonds. Amongst these are:

• Flexibility and availability of features
• Application process and accessibility
• AKG financial strength rating
• Online options and availability
• Management options and services available

Use our simple tool on the right to find the right investment bond for you.
