Hi,

If I would like to research Investment Bonds with an element of life insurance/assurance, where could I go?

I specifically would like to know:

1) What companies do them (I can only find a few on Google but not any kind of list of top providers)
2) What the performance of these are so I can benchmark them against each other

Thanks for any help

Helen

Probably to an IFA or the likes of St James Place. These products tend not to be particularly good value when measured against investing via an ISA either directly into shares or via OEICs or ETFs.

My understanding was that it was cheaper to buy the insurance separately. Years ago, by combining the two, you could get income tax relief on all your premiums, so that you got a discount on your investment. In the 1990s this was abolished, and so such products were largely abandoned.

Steer well clear.
