Annual premiums are paid into a 3 year unit linked endowment policy where 98% of each premium is allocated to units in a fund that carries a 3% bid- offer spread and charges management fees of 0.75% of assets at the end of each policy year. The policy has a death benefit of the bid value of units payable at the end of the year of death subject to a minimum of £12,500.
