Between 1 and 2 years since the initial investment was made | 3 % of amount cashed in |
Between 2 and 3 years since the initial investment was made | 1 % of amount cashed in |
There will be no penalty if you cash in after three years.
You should read the section “Charges” of the Key Information Document carefully and ask us for clarification if there is any doubt
MARKET VALUE REDUCTION
The Market Value Adjustment (MVR) is a potential reduction to the amount that you would receive should you cash in part or all of your policy. It is designed so that with profit policyholders receive a fair share of LICI’s With Profits Fund when adverse events occur. For example when there are large falls in stock markets or a large number of other investors cash in their units. We will not apply an MVR in the following circumstances:
When you cash in part or all of your policy on the 10th anniversary from when you first started the policy and on 5th anniversary thereafter.
On payment of the death benefit.
