Insurance Bonds (UK Investment Bond)

Insurance bonds are issued by insurance companies who invest in a wide range of stocks and shares and also property.

Insurance bonds are also known as investment bonds.

As with most investment bonds, insurance bonds have these terms associated with them:

Coupon - the interest rate, paid over the term of the investment, generally a fixed rate.

Maturity - refers to the date the issuer will pay the principle to the insurance bond holder, essentially paying off the debt.

Principal (face value) - the amount paid to the investor at the maturity of the investment bonds.

Insurance bonds:

Single premium:
> With profits - you invest a single premium which is invested in the insurance company's with profits fund.
> Unit linked - have the same principles as with profits investment but your money can be invested in a number of funds instead of one with profits fund. Your investment and eventual return depend on the fluctuating values of the unit price over the duration of your investment

Guaranteed bonds - You pay a single lump sum but the insurance company guarantees that you will receive a fixed sum on the maturity date. There is also a guaranteed interest rate for the term of the investment.
