From 1 April 2014, you will now be able to choose a capital redemption version of PIMS for your clients. The capital redemption version has no lives assured, matures after 99 years and then pays out the surrender value plus a guaranteed GBP100 (or currency equivalent). As the bond doesn't have to end on someones death it can be useful in tax planning structures for heirs, corporates and executors.
Naturally the life assurance version remains available, all you have to remember is that you can't switch between the two types once a policy has been issued.
How do I quote on the new basis?
