When the Flexible Life Annuity starts, the annuity payments are calculated using the applicant's age and the initial premium paid. Using an appropriate mortality table and current gilt yield we calculate the yearly annuity payment that the initial premium would support over the annuitant's expected lifetime. The level of annuity payments is recalculated each time an additional premium is paid. Please refer to the key features for more information.
With the FLA there is a part that is tax-free (this is called the tax exempt sum) and there is a part that may be liable to UK income tax. As this depends on your personal circumstances you should speak to your financial adviser.

The London & Colonial Assurance PCC Plc (LCA) International Bond is a group of identical single-premium unit-linked life assurance policies or bonds.
The International Bond is designed for financially secure clients looking for one or more of the following:
It can support any combination of these goals.
You can access your investment through withdrawals, which may be structured in a UK tax-efficient manner depending on your circumstances.
Access to investments is typically provided through one of the following:
Discretionary Fund Manager - a professional you ask us to appoint to manage the investment portfolio held within your International Bond.
Investment Manager - a professional or firm that manages investments on your behalf. You appoint them, subject to our acceptance. As they do not act for LCA, we are not responsible for their actions or omissions.
Platform - an investment service that allows your adviser to manage and monitor your portfolio in one place. Your adviser may use a platform, subject to our acceptance, to access a range of investments within your International Bond.
The International Bond can be denominated in GBP, EUR or USD.
The International Bond may be suitable for individuals or trustees who meet all of the following criteria:
The International Bond is not suitable for:
The International Bond is available in two versions: Life Assurance and Capital Redemption. You must choose one or the other, not both.
This choice is made when you apply and cannot be changed later, so it is important to discuss the most suitable option with your Financial Adviser.
By default, the International Bond is made up of 500 identical sub-policies. You can choose up to 99,999 segments to support flexible withdrawals and tax planning. The
minimum premium for each sub-policy is GBP 100 / EUR 120 / USD 140. Your Financial Adviser can help you decide the right number of segments when you apply.
This UK tax rule allows withdrawals of up to 5% of the original premium each year for up to 20 years without an immediate tax charge. Any unused allowance in one year can usually be carried forward to the next. Tax is deferred, not avoided, and may become payable when the bond is surrendered or matures.

£10,000 |
| Year 3 | £10,000 + £10,000 Year 2 unused allowance | £0 |
£20,000 |
You can make additional single-premium investments, known as Top-Ups. The minimum Top-Up is GBP 5,000 / EUR 6,000 / USD 7,000, with no upper limit. Each Top-Up is spread equally across your sub-policies and has its own 5% Tax-Deferred Allowance for up to 20 years.
LCA does not provide investment advice. You may choose to take advice from a:
You can choose from a wide range of investment options, provided they meet LCA’s Statement of Investment Principles. Your Investment Adviser can help you decide which investments are suitable for your goals.
The assets linked to your portfolio are held within the relevant Cell of our Long-Term Business Fund, either in LCA’s name or in the name of a custodian appointed by LCA. These assets are used to determine the value of your Policy.
You can change or remove your appointed Investment Adviser, Investment Manager or Discretionary Fund Manager at any time. If one is removed, LCA will encourage you to appoint a replacement.
You can make one-off or regular withdrawals from the International Bond. If you exceed the available 5% Tax-Deferred Allowance in any year, this may give rise to a chargeable event gain and potential tax liability, so you should speak to your Financial Adviser.
The Financial Services Compensation Scheme (FSCS) is the UK’s statutory compensation scheme for consumers when authorised financial services firms fail.
As a Gibraltar insurer authorised to write business in the UK for UK tax residents, FSCS protection may apply to eligible UK policyholders if LCA cannot meet its obligations.
The scheme currently covers 100% of the remaining value of the International Bond for valid claims, with no upper limit. For more information, please visit the FSCS website.
Please speak to your Financial Adviser about the charges and fees for setting up and administering your International Bond.

With an annuity you can exchange a sum of money, for regular income payments based on your age, health, and life expectancy. Not all annuity products are the same – some provide fixed or escalating income whilst others (like ours) provide flexibility.
However, it is recommended that you speak with your financial adviser to understand more about annuities and whether they would be suitable for you. If you don't yet have a financial adviser, you can learn more about finding an adviser here.
The level of income or annuity payments can be varied between the minimum and maximum amounts that we will calculate in line with UK regulations. For more information, please refer to the key features document for the product.
