Guaranteed Income Bond


Additional Services

 

A guaranteed income bond is a single premium insurance bond which pays a fixed amount of income annually and returns the original sum invested at the end of a specified period.

Beware of bonds which offer high returns but may set performance benchmarks for the return of your capital - if these targets are not met your income is effectively no more than the draw-down of your capital.
