Maximum Investment Plan

The Skandia Maximum Investment Plan is a regular premium qualifying unit-linked ten-year endowment plan that provides a tax free cash sum at the end of the term. You can choose to extend the contract beyond the ten years and take flexible, regular, tax-free income while still investing contributions in a tax-free environment.

Benefits

After ten years you will get a capital cash sum free from personal taxation.

Allows you to increase or decrease contributions without affecting your right to withdraw benefits free from personal tax ten years after taking out the Plan within qualifying limits.

Allows you to take tax-efficient withdrawals after ten years providing your plan has been extended.
