Onshore 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.

An onshore bond is a single premium life policy that invests in collective funds. The life cover is nominal, usually a maximum of 1% of the bid value of the units at death but may be as low as 0.1% of the bid value.

We assess over 19 criteria when rating onshore 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.
