IMPORTANT NOTICE A with-profits policy is not like a bank or building society deposit account. It may return less than has been invested in particular in the early years whereas a bank or building society deposit account would generally return all the investor’s capital. Investors should consider keeping any money which might be needed in the short term in a bank or building society deposit account which is generally secure and readily accessible. The value of an investment may fluctuate and is not guaranteed. Your client may not get back the full amount of their investment. For investments in With-Profits, the value of the policy depends on how much profit the fund makes and how Prudential decides to distribute it. Past performance is no guide to the future. The rate of future bonuses in With-Profits cannot be guaranteed. The final bonus (if applicable) can be reduced or removed at any time, without warning. If money invested in With-Profits is taken out at any time, including to switch, except on a death claim or to meet certain regular withdrawals, the amount may be reduced to reflect the current market value of the underlying assets.  This is known as Market Value Reduction and is in addition to any Early Cash-In Charge. This may mean that investors get back less than the full amount of their investment. Charges may vary in the future.
