What is Platinum Plus ISA?
This type of investment carries a degree of risk. Its value can go down as well as up, so you might get back less than you put in. This can be held as an ISA or stand-alone policy.

More features
Final Bonus
We may apply a Final Bonus when you cash in your plan, or in the event of your death. This makes sure we pay you a fair value for your investment at the time. You can find details of Final Bonus on your annual statement. Or, if you ask for a valuation of your plan over the phone, we’ll include this for you as part of the valuation.
Market Value Reduction (MVR)
When you cash in your policy, we may apply a Market Value Reduction (MVR) to lower the value of your policy. This is to make sure you are paid a fair value for your investment at the time. We won't apply an MVR if you die.
Because of the economic climate and market conditions over the last few years, no MVRs have been applied to Platinum Plus policies since 14th February 2013.
You can find out more about MVRs and these rates by reading our brochure:
