Offshore Investment Bonds are a savings vehicle to help you make your money work harder for you. When you work with SSA we take a holistic view of your money and consider how your attitude to risk, your current income, present and future tax position and your capital align with your financial goals.
An investment bond is a type of investment that combines savings and insurance. An Offshore Investment Bond, also sometimes called portfolio bonds or tax wrappers are set up by a life insurance company domiciled in a jurisdiction which has a favourable regime.
As with onshore investment bonds we would expect you to save for the medium to long term using this type of savings vehicle. When you invest your money into an investment bond with SSA, it can grow, in the same way any other investment might. We look after your investment by selecting appropriate funds and regularly reviewing how those funds are performing against your financial objectives. Moreover, what you gain with an investment bond is that you also have an element of insurance. Your family or beneficiaries receive a payout on your death.
The value of investments and any income from them can fall as well as rise and you may not get back the original amount invested.
HM Revenue and Customs practice and the law relating to taxation are complex and subject to individual circumstances and charges which cannot be foreseen.

The word bond is really just a description of how the investment is treated for tax purposes.
There are 2 types of bonds... onshore and offshore. the main difference between the 2 is tax treatment. Onshore bonds are subject to UK tax demands, offshore bonds are not taxed whilst the money remains within the bond.
If you have already utilised your ISA allowance then a bond may be favourable. With both onshore and offshore bonds you are to withdraw 5% of your initial investment amount each year without paying any immediate tax.
Investment Bonds can be used for placing money into trust as part of your estate and inheritance tax planning. SSA carefully considers your individual circumstances when advising if an Investment Bond is the right move for you.
