Savings & Education

Friendly Society Plan

The Friendly Society Plan is a tax-efficient savings plan that allows anyone to save for a child's future. When your child reaches 18, 21, or 25 you can choose for them to receive a lump sum.  It can also include an element of life cover.

Endowments

The most common form of savings contract offered by life assurance companies is endowment assurance, which is broadly speaking, a policy on which the sum assured is paid out at the end of a specified term or on the earlier death of the life assured, although some policies are open-ended and allow policyholders to choose when to receive the proceeds of their investment.  The client's investment is made in the form of regular premiums to the life assurance company throughout the term of the policy.  There are a number of variations, the most common of which are:

  • Non-Profit endowment - The policy has a fixed sum assured, which is payable on maturity, or on earlier death.  Because the return is fixed then the investor is is shielded from losses due to adverse stock market movement; but on the other hand is unlikely to share in any profits should the markets move the other way.
  • Full with-profit endowment - Same as the non profit it has a fixed sum but the premium is higher with the same fixed amount, with the additional premium being used to share in the profits, and also losses, of the assurance company.
