Q How long was a Capital Investor designed to be held? 

A Capital Investor was designed as a medium to long-term investment and should therefore be held ideally for 5 years or more.

 

Changing the policy

Q Can the policy currency be changed?

Funds

Q What funds can I choose? 

A You can choose from a range of investment funds or Offshore With-Profits Funds. We provide a Fund Centre and With-Profits pages to keep you informed about the fund range and their past performance. 

 

Q Do I get charged for changing funds? 

A You may switch funds up to 12 times in any calendar year, free of charge. If you request more than 12 switches, you will be charged 1% of the value of your switch, subject to a minimum charge of £10 and a maximum charge of £250. 

 

If you are switching out of an Offshore With-Profits Fund a market value adjuster (MVA) may apply.

A No. You can only access the funds available in the Capital Investor fund range. 

 

Q Who is responsible for my fund choices? 

A You or the company you nominate to act on your behalf. RL360° Services does not provide investment advice and will not provide you with guidance as to which funds are suitable for you.

A Yes. You can take regular withdrawals subject to a minimum of £200 ($300 or €300) and a maximum of 10% of your premiums paid per policy year.
