How your plan works

If you’ve got a whole of life plan that was converted from an endowment plan you can access your cash through regular and/or one-off withdrawals. On death the remaining value of your plan will be paid. You make a small annual payment which protects your plan’s favourable tax status.

You retain control over how the cash in your plan is invested. Provided you’re up to date with your payments, cash paid out from your plan is normally paid free from tax.

The value of your investment can go down as well as up so you might not get back the amount you put in.

Protecting yourself from investment scams

Fraudsters are always out there and constantly changing their tactics. So if you’re thinking of reinvesting the money from your plan, take a minute to find out how to stay ahead of the scammers."
