Product warnings
- The Junior Bond invests in stocks and shares. As such, the capital value of the investment and any income from it may fall as well as rise, which may result in your child receiving back less than was invested.
- We are unable to reclaim the tax credit on dividend income, which is taxed at source.
- The tax benefits offered by these investments could be removed by future changes in legislation. The value of these benefits can fluctuate and will depend on the holder’s individual circumstances.
- The parent or guardian nominated on the application form will control the policy until the child reaches the age of 18. The Payer’s permission will be required if the plan is to be encashed before the end of the payment term. After this time the child’s signature will be required on documents.

- You should ensure that your personal and banking details are not available to an unauthorised user.
- We cannot accept responsibility for any misuse arising on your computer which results in information being given to us without authority.
