We have produced documents for each of our with-profits funds which aim to give you a better understanding of with-profits policies and how they work.
A Guide to How We Manage Our With-Profits Fund - a short guide designed to explain the most important points of the PPFM (below) as simply as we can.
Principles and Practices of Financial Management (PPFM) - a detailed document explaining how we manage our with-profits funds and how that affects your policy.
For each of our with-profits funds, we produce an annual report for with-profits policyholders stating whether throughout the previous year we believe we have complied with our obligations relating to the PPFM. Accompanying each report is a separate report from the with-profits actuary. A copy of the reports relating to 2008 are available to download below.
