TRANSCRIPT
The PPS Endowment Plan is a tax-efficient investment vehiclewhich is structured with the creation of long-term wealth in mind.It is most suitable if you fall into a marginal tax rate greater than30% and have a minimum investment time horizon of five years.
While access to capital is limited within the first five years orextended restriction period, this plan offers significant taxbenefits. Taxable income for you (interest, net rental incomeand foreign dividends) is taxed at 30%, while realised capitalgains attract capital gains tax at 7.5%. The proceeds of awithdrawal from the plan are tax-free in your hands. All taxreporting responsibility is removed from you, the Investor.
The PPS Endowment Plan offers a simple and transparent coststructure and allows you unlimited flexibility in changing yourunderlying investments as well as managing the timing ofinvestments into your plan.
KEY BENEFITS AND FEATURESInvestment OptionsThe range of Investment Options offers a selection of multi-managed PPS unit trusts that provide clearly defined underlyinginvestment choices. We also give you the choice of a selection oftop-performing single-manager unit trusts to ensure that youhave a varied and well-defined range of alternatives.
SwitchingYou may change your Investment Options as often as you choosewithout incurring a transaction fee. Certain underlying assetmanagers do, however, charge an initial upfront fee for investmentin their Investment Options, which would be applied upon yourswitch into those Investment Options.
TransfersYou may not transfer your PPS Endowment Plan to anotherendowment policy or transfer another endowment policy into thePPS Endowment Plan.
Restriction periodThe PPS Endowment Plan has an initial restriction period of fiveyears. You may make additional contributions to your plan at anytime, subject to set minimum investment amounts. Should thecontributions, however, exceed 120% of the greater of yourannual contributions in the prior two-year period, your investmentwill enter an extended restriction period for another five yearsfrom the date of the contribution.
Surrender valueYou are entitled to one withdrawal during the initial restrictionperiod of five years or any extended restriction period. Thewithdrawal value is limited to your contributions plus 5%compound interest per year. If the actual market value of thePPS Endowment Plan is less than the legal surrender limit, themarket value (less any deductions such as tax) will be paidto you.
