At a Glance

What Is It?

  • Our Discounted Gift Scheme is made up of a choice of absolute or discretionary discounted gift trusts and one of a range of our investment bond products.
  • It can provide settlor/donors with fixed regular payments for the rest of their life or until there is no money left in the bond.
  • It could help UK resident settlor/donors reduce their liability to IHT.
  • Can be used with any of our currently available range of investment bonds (not including Capital Control Bond).

Consider If Your Clients...

  • Are looking for a solution that could be used to reduce their estate's liability to UK IHT while retaining the right to regular payments.
  • Have £50,000 or more to invest.
  • Are prepared to accept at least some risk to capital invested.

Remember, the value of investments can fall as well as rise, is not guaranteed, and your clients may get back less than they invest.
