Are you affected by any of the following?
 • Savings rates at record lows                             • Business struggling
 • Poor investment returns                                  • VAT man knocking at the door
 • Volatile stock market                                    • Bank withdrawn finance facility
 • Pension plans not performing                             • Cash flow compromised
 • Salary not keeping up with inflation
 • Ever rising costs
 • Danger of redundancy                          Are you struggling to find a solution?
 • Can’t afford to retire
                                                 Do you own your own home or business premises?
 • Forced to retire early
 • Insufficient retirement income




Your biggest asset, your home or business
premises, could be the answer to your prayers...
The equity in your property, whilst it may have grown over the years, has never actually earned anything.
Traditionally there has always been a cost attached to accessing that wealth. Releasing equity has always been
seen as a “last resort” option with some or all of the associated downsides:

        8 interest payments
        8 debt
        8 erosion of equity/inheritance
        8 loss of title to the property
        8 punitive early redemption clauses

Would you prefer your property to earn rather than cost money:
        3 no debt or interest payments
        3 no erosion of equity
        3 no loss of title
        3 no age requirements
        3 no income requirements


The Asset Income Plan is the perfect opportunity to satisfy the needs of two disparate parties. You,
the property owner, can earn interest on your equity, paid for by the need for Insurance Companies
to increase their capital reserves, a demand made by the EU directive, “Solvency II”.
How does it work?

The Asset Income Plan has been created to             How can the Insurance Companies afford to
enable property owners to benefit from a much          pay you in return for the equity charge?

borrowing, without paying interest, without           capital reserves to support the insurance
eroding the equity in the property and without        business that they write, not an easy task in
losing title to the property.
                                                      today’s economic climate.

Your income will be paid to you by ‘A’ rated
or higher, nationally recognised Insurance
Companies to whom packages of equity in
many properties will be assigned. This helps
the Insurance Companies to comply with the
“Solvency II” EU directive which requires them
to increase their capital reserves in order to
continue to write their current levels and any
future insurance business. The contract term
will be for 10 years at which point the charge
will be automatically released with no debt or
interest payments due and retaining full title
to your property. For residential property
owners the contract can be terminated early by
giving 3 months notice, (during which time no
further payments will be received) for death,
divorce, bankruptcy, move to a care home or
moving home. For commercial property the
notice period is 6 months for death, divorce,
insolvency or administration. The contract may
also be renewed for a 2nd term according to
market conditions at the time.

Case Studies

Graham & Janet Parsons:
The Parsons paid off the mortgage on their 4 bedroom detached home on the south coast just over
2 years ago. In their late fifties, Graham is considering the possibility of semi-retirement which would
give them more opportunity to pursue their love of sailing, particularly in the summer months. However,
the reduced income could mean selling their current home and downsizing, which would affect the size
of inheritance for their children. Their IFA recommended the Asset Income Plan which would provide an
income of £13,750 every year for 10 years, more than enough to cover Graham’s reduced salary which
means they can stay in their current home.


Stuart Ashton
Stuart, 43, bought a small hotel 8 years ago with an inheritance of £600,000. He saw excellent growth
during the first 4 years but has suffered a fall in business since the infamous credit crunch hit. He loves
the business, is a very good host and does not want to sell the hotel. He feels his only other choice would
be to take a commercial loan, secured against the hotel, until business improves again, which he expects
to take another 2 or 3 years. He was lucky enough to broach the subject with his broker who suggested
the Asset Income Plan as an alternative. He is sure that the additional £15,000 per annum which the plan
will provide will help him through the hard times and increase his profit for the following 7 or 8 years.


Jim Overton
Jim is in his late seventies and is struggling to make ends meet as price rises continue to outstrip his small
pension increases. He owns his delightful cottage, worth about £160,000 and his two sons and daughter
want him to consider equity release as a way to enjoy his life more from the income it would provide. But
Jim is worried that this would severely diminish the inheritance that he would love to leave to his children.
By taking the Asset Income Plan that his financial adviser showed him, Jim can now comfortably live without
fear of debt or interest payments, secure in the knowledge that his family will still benefit from the full value
of his home.


*These case studies are fictitious, but should help to illustrate how the Asset Income Plan can change people’s lives for the better.

The equity in your property, whilst it may have grown over the years, has never actually earned anything. Traditionally there has always been a cost attached to accessing that wealth. Releasing equity has always been seen as a “last resort” option with some or all of the associated downsides: 8 interest payments 8 debt 8 erosion of equity/inheritance 8 loss of title to the property 8 punitive early redemption clauses Would you prefer your property to earn rather than cost money: 3 no debt or interest payments 3 no erosion of equity 3 no loss of title 3 no age requirements 3 no income requirements The Asset Income Plan is the perfect opportunity to satisfy the needs of two disparate parties. You, the property owner, can earn interest on your equity, paid for by the need for Insurance Companies to increase their capital reserves, a demand made by the EU directive, “Solvency II”.

For residential property owners the contract can be terminated early by giving 3 months notice, (during which time no further payments will be received) for death, divorce, bankruptcy, move to a care home or moving home. For commercial property the notice period is 6 months for death, divorce, insolvency or administration. The contract may also be renewed for a 2nd term according to market conditions at the time.
  • 4. * Case Studies Graham & Janet Parsons: The Parsons paid off the mortgage on their 4 bedroom detached home on the south coast just over 2 years ago. In their late fifties, Graham is considering the possibility of semi-retirement which would give them more opportunity to pursue their love of sailing, particularly in the summer months. However, the reduced income could mean selling their current home and downsizing, which would affect the size of inheritance for their children. Their IFA recommended the Asset Income Plan which would provide an income of £13,750 every year for 10 years, more than enough to cover Graham’s reduced salary which means they can stay in their current home. Stuart Ashton Stuart, 43, bought a small hotel 8 years ago with an inheritance of £600,000. He saw excellent growth during the first 4 years but has suffered a fall in business since the infamous credit crunch hit. He loves the business, is a very good host and does not want to sell the hotel. He feels his only other choice would be to take a commercial loan, secured against the hotel, until business improves again, which he expects to take another 2 or 3 years. He was lucky enough to broach the subject with his broker who suggested the Asset Income Plan as an alternative. He is sure that the additional £15,000 per annum which the plan will provide will help him through the hard times and increase his profit for the following 7 or 8 years. Jim Overton Jim is in his late seventies and is struggling to make ends meet as price rises continue to outstrip his small pension increases. He owns his delightful cottage, worth about £160,000 and his two sons and daughter want him to consider equity release as a way to enjoy his life more from the income it would provide. But Jim is worried that this would severely diminish the inheritance that he would love to leave to his children. By taking the Asset Income Plan that his financial adviser showed him, Jim can now comfortably live without fear of debt or interest payments, secure in the knowledge that his family will still benefit from the full value of his home. *These case studies are fictitious, but should help to illustrate how the Asset Income Plan can change people’s lives for the better.
