Friends Provident bond 'improved'

Fri 4th May 2007

Consumers savvy enough to invest in a Friends Provident investment portfolio bond and the ethical investment bond will receive an extra allocation of 0.5 per cent on their investment.

Available until October 30th for investors aged between 18 and 69, the Friends Provident bond offer necessitates a minimum investment of £10,000.

There is no maximum investment limit on the Friends Provident bond except the cash fund, which is restricted to £100,000.

Christine Foyster, head of investment marketing at the group, said that in its 175th year, the Friends Provident offer indicated its "commitment to the long-term investment market".

The group's investment portfolio is also highly flexible, with consumers investing in Friends Provident funds having a wide choice.

The UK life and pensions provider launched its ethically screened stewardship fund in 1984.
