With-Profit Bond

A With-Profit Bond is a safe, secure way to invest a large lump sum such as a police pension lump sum or an inheritance.

Your money is invested in Metfriendly’s With-Profits Fund which holds bonds, shares, property and cash. A With-Profit Bond is normally the next place to consider investing in, after you have used your tax-free ISA allowance.

  • minimum investment of only £2,000 and no fixed term
  • steady returns year-on-year with annual bonuses
  • long-term saving normally rewarded with a final bonus when you cash it in (after at least three years)  
  • your money is invested in our carefully managed With-Profits Fund
  • your money is ‘smoothed’ to protect against short-term market fluctuations

Special Spring offer

Boost your lump sum savings with an extra 1% (in addition to annual bonuses and a potential final bonus) when you invest or transfer £10,000 or more into a Lump Sum ISA or With-Profit Bond by 30th June 2024.

Terms and conditions apply.

Where is my money invested?

The premiums are invested in the Metfriendly With-Profits fund. For information on what that is and how it works, including a diagram to show the approximate investment mix, please refer to the With-Profits fund page.

When can I take money out?

You can invest for as long as you want; there is no fixed term and no maximum age limit.

You can contact us at any time to cash in part or all of your plan, although you should bear in mind that the plan is designed as a medium to long term investment (5 years or more).

Charges will apply on cashing in within one year of investing. Metfriendly reserve the right to also apply a Market Value Reduction (MVR) so that the value when you cash in more fairly reflects our performance over the period of investment.

Can I cash in part of my Bond?

You can only cash in a Bond in its entirety. However, we will split large investments into individual Bonds of £5,000, and you can ask us to issue Bonds as low as £2,000 if you need that flexibility.

What if I change my mind?

When your Bond starts, we will send you a certificate showing your benefits and a cancellation notice. If you change your mind, you can return the notice within 30 days for a full refund.

How much will it cost for advice?
  • We do not offer or give financial advice.
  • We do not make any form of commission.
  • The cost of providing verbal or written information about this product is included in our overall expenses.
