Transcription

1 For customers With-Profits Investments With-Profits Performance Bond Fund (WP0) factsheet Quarter three 2018 Fund information Fund provider Aegon Fund description The WP0 fund invests in a wide range of bonds, gilts, equities in the UK and overseas, plus direct property. The current target level of equity exposure is 65% - 75% of the overall investment. The WP0 fund offers a guarantee that the unit price will not fall (i.e. guaranteed return of capital including annual bonus additions to date) at maturity, upon death or, for bonds taken out between 01/11/96 and 15/01/01 only, upon encashment at the 10th anniversary. An annual bonus may be declared in advance and unit price will be increased smoothly on a daily basis throughout the year to reflect the rate of bonus declared. On surrender, death or on switch out of the fund, an additional terminal bonus or market value reduction (MVR) may be applied. The terminal bonus and MVR rates are not guaranteed. The current terminal bonus rates are shown at the end of this factsheet.

Figures in s on a bid-to-bid basis, net of charges, with gross income reinvested to 31 August Periods of greater than one year show annualised compound returns. Past performance is no guide to future performance. The value of this investment can fall as well as rise for a number of reasons, for example market and currency movements. You may get back less than the amount originally invested if you surrender the policy prior to the selected maturity date. These figures represent the investment return on WP0 fund net of annual management charge, but not incorporating charges for guarantees and the distribution from the inherited estate (see Enhancements to asset shares for further information). Actual with-profits payouts also incorporate the effects of smoothing of investment returns and will therefore not necessarily reflect these returns.

3 Guarantee charges and estate distributions Amounts payable to policyholders are guided by the calculation of asset shares. This reflects the accumulation of premiums paid less any withdrawals, contract charges and expenses at the rate of investment return on the underlying with-profits fund assets. In addition, the investment return is increased by any distributions made from the estate and decreased by charges for guarantees payable to the estate. This includes any additional enhancement to investment returns that may be added, from the estate, at the point of claim. The estate represents the excess of assets within the withprofits fund over and above the amount required to meet customer benefits. Aegon has no entitlement to any of the estate and we aim to distribute the estate equitably to withprofits policyholders over time. The combination of these effects, plus an allowance for smoothing of investment returns, is then reflected in policy payouts through the terminal bonus and MVR rates. The following table illustrates the effect on the annual investment return from the movements to/from the estate (before any smoothing is applied). It is important to note that the above estate distributions are not guaranteed. It may become necessary to remove some or all of these should the Scottish Equitable withprofits fund (of which this investment fund forms a part) experience adverse conditions.
