If you’re wondering whether or not this investment bond is right for you, take a look at what Select Investment could do for you. Income tax payer If you’re a basic or higher rate tax payer with at least £10,000 to invest over the medium to long term, which is 5 to 10 years or more, then Select Investment could be for you. If you're not a UK taxpayer, you won't be able to take out a Select Investment bond. Medium to long-term If you have enough funding for a rainy day or two, you might want to consider Select Investment and put some of your spare money to work – as long as you're happy with the level of risk involved. Our charges There are two types of charges that we may apply to your bond – annual management charges and fund charges. Annual management charges We take an annual management charge to cover the cost of running your bond. We cancel units in your funds on the first of each month to pay for it. Fund charges Some funds have charges in addition to the basic annual management charge. These vary depending on the funds you choose. There may be an extra management charge and/or a fund management expense charge, which covers the fund manager’s expenses connected with buying, selling, valuing and maintaining the assets.

How it works We explain the way Select Investment works in 3 steps. 1 Choose your funds We’ll invest your money in the funds you choose, like stocks and shares, property, or gilts. 2 We’ll help you diversify By investing in a range of different funds, you can spread the risk to your money, as you’re not putting all your eggs in one basket. 3 We’ll keep you updated We’ll send you a statement each year shortly after the anniversary of your investment date. The statement includes an easy to follow summary and valuation of how your bond is doing. Things to consider Make sure you're comfortable with the risk of investing before you get started. The value of your investment can go down as well as up and you may get back less than you invest Remember, any income from Select Investment will be in the form of cash withdrawals from the bond. These will be capital payments rather than interest or earnings. So, if investment growth doesn’t keep up with the level of income you take, the value of your bond will reduce Tax treatment depends on your individual circumstances and may be subject to change in future. Depending on the funds you choose, there may be restrictions on when you can access your money. Or there could be penalties imposed on withdrawals at certain times.
