Investment Risk Warnings
All investments carry an element of risk, and the value of your investments can go down as well as up, so you could get back less than you invested.
A pension is a long term investment. The fund value may fluctuate and can go down. Your eventual income may depend on the size of fund when accessed, interest rates and legislation.
A Protection plan will have no cash in value at any time, and will cease at the end of the term. If premiums are not maintained, then cover will lapse and you may not be covered if a claim is made
