Investment Bonds can either be fixed-term or have no set term, although surrender penalties may apply in the early stages. A lump sum is invested into a fund of your choice, and at surrender or in the event of your death, a lump sum will be paid out – the size of which will depend on the performance, and the terms and conditions, of your Investment Bond.
Have you been affected by Investment Bond mis-selling?
Advisers want to sell customers as many Investment Bonds as possible because of the high levels of commission they generate. Sales have been linked frequently to bonuses and job retention. Their success of the Investment Bond, however, is often subject to management charges and surrender penalties. All of this should have been made clear to you from the outset.
Intense pressure on advisers has led to consumers being mis-sold Investment Bonds that were often unsuitable for their needs and situation. Many high street banks have been fined for putting branch staff under pressure to sell Investment Bonds, irrespective of whether they properly serve the customer’s requirements.
