Important information

  • The HSBC Life Onshore Investment Bond is not designed for limited companies which are not UK tax residents
  • The suitability of the Bond for a limited company will depend on the accounting basis adopted by the company
  • The value of investments can fall as well as rise and your client may not get back what they invested – for some investments this can also happen as a result of exchange rate fluctuations as shares and funds may have an exposure to overseas markets
  • HSBC Life (UK) Limited cannot be help responsible for the investment performance of its Bond
  • The value of any tax benefits described depends on your client’s individual circumstances
  • Tax rules and rates may change in the future and HSBC Life (UK) Limited cannot be help responsible for any future changes in legislation
  • The minimum investment by a limited company into the HSBC Life Onshore Investment Bond is £15,000
  • A minimum amount of cash should remain in the Bond’s cash account at all times, to cover fees and charges
  • Investments should be seen as medium to long-term (at least five years), as cashing in early could mean your client gets back less than was originally invested
  • The Bond will be divided into a number of separate, identical policies
  • The company chooses the number of policies to hold, subject to a maximum of 1,200 policies with at least £1,000 in each
  • Withdrawals are subject to a minimum £100 per payment, and maximum 10% yearly of the initial investment
  • With a partial surrender, the remaining Bond must have an investment value of at least £2,000
  • Fund managers may impose minimum trade sizes limiting the number of funds to select
