Capital Investment bonds are life insurance contracts used for the purposes of investment. They are designed to give capital growth and/or income over the medium to long term with access to your money by taking regular or one-off withdrawals. Most bonds are designed for investment over at least five years. If you cash in your investment before that time, you are likely to be charged an early surrender penalty.

Bonds are set up through insurance companies without the need for a check on your health status and normally people of any age can hold a bond. Bonds can be opened onshore (within the UK) or offshore (usually in the Isle of Man or the Channel Islands) to take advantage of tax concessions. The decision will depend on your personal tax situation.

Most bonds have no upper limit on how much you can invest, but barriers to entry can start higher than other investments, with a £10,000 minimum contribution being typical.

Drawing down income from a capital investment bond can be an option, though any income drawn down will deplete the original capital. You may be able, depending on the policy, to make additional payments to the bond at any time, as well as one-off withdrawals.

Capital investment bonds have management charges and these vary greatly. They are usually levied as an annual fund charge or even as an initial charge and early encashment charge.

I approached Warwick Row back in the summer of 2020 with the goal of retiring before the end of March 2021. I had concerns about managing my pension and getting the best return on my investment while ensuring it met my requirements and acceptable risk levels. Fortunately, I was connected with Joshua Exley, who immediately put me at ease and made me feel confident in his expertise.
 
Throughout the process, Joshua was incredibly supportive and informative. He walked me through all of my options and helped me identify the best strategy for my needs. Thanks to his guidance, I was able to retire at 57 with a comfortable pension that will last far longer than I ever thought possible.
 
One of the things I appreciate most about working with Warwick Road is the 24/7 visual access to my pension. It's reassuring to be able to monitor its performance and have Joshua available to discuss any concerns or questions I have. The experience has been easy and stress-free, thanks to Joshua's understanding and friendly approach.
 
Overall, I highly recommend Warwick Row to anyone who needs help managing their pension and making the most of their investment. They offer professional and personalized service that can benefit anyone, especially those with little to no knowledge of pensions.
