Insurance Bond

An insurance bond (or investment bond) is a single premium life assurance policy for the purposes of investment.

Due to tax laws they are a common form of investment in the UK and some offshore centres.

Traditionally insurance bonds were with-profits policies and were often called with-profit(s) bonds. Since the introduction of unitised insurance funds they have often been marketed as unit-linked bonds or investment bonds.

Famous quotes containing the words insurance and/or bond:

    In taking out an insurance policy one pays for it in dollars and cents, always at liberty to discontinue payments. If, however, woman’s premium is a husband, she pays for it with her name, her privacy, her self-respect, her very life, “until death doth part.”
    Emma Goldman (1869–1940)

    Wedding is great Juno’s crown,
    O blessed bond of board and bed!
    ‘Tis Hymen peoples every town,
    High wedlock then be honorèd.
    Honor, high honor, and renown
    To Hymen, god of every town!
    William Shakespeare (1564–1616)
