Product Details

Overview

  • Your client can stop, start, increase or decrease regular contributions, and pay in lump sums at any time.
  • We make it easy for your clients to consolidate other pension pots into their VitalityInvest Retirement Plan.
  • We pre-fund tax relief on any personal contributions.
  • When your client reaches retirement they can keep their money invested, take a tax-free lump sum when allocating all or part of their plan to flexi-access drawdown, or take cash lump sums (UFPLS).
  • In flexi-access drawdown, your client can take income through regular or ad-hoc withdrawals.
  • Your client can choose any day from 1 to 28 of the month to draw down regular income from their plan.

With VitalityInvest Boosters, Discounts and healthy living rewards, you can help your clients form good financial habits – such as saving earlier and for longer – as well as motivate them to live healthier lives. These incentives are a key Vitality difference, designed to help your clients reach their goals faster, give them more to enjoy, and help them live longer in good health.


Investment Booster

Our Investment Booster motivates clients to invest more of their money, earlier, and let it grow for longer.

How the Investment Booster works

When your client invests in our Vitality funds for five years, we’ll boost their investments with extra money – on top of any growth. If they stay invested in Vitality funds, we’ll boost them again every five years. If they invest more in Vitality funds in subsequent years, we’ll boost these investments too, once they’ve been invested for five years. So, after five years, with regular investments, your clients could receive a boost each year.


Healthy living discount

We believe financial security is even better when people have the good health to enjoy it. With our Healthy Living Discount, you can help your clients develop both good saving habits and a healthier lifestyle – and reward them for it.

How the Healthy Living Discount works

If your client holds a qualifying VitalityHealth or VitalityLife policy, they can take part in our healthy living programme. This encourages them to live a healthier life. By doing things like staying active and tracking what they do, going for a health check or buying healthy food, they earn Vitality points. The healthier their efforts, the more points they can earn towards improving their Vitality status – Bronze, Silver, Gold and ultimately Platinum. The higher their Vitality status, the more they save on product charges on any amount invested in Vitality funds. Achieve Platinum status, and they could pay £0.


Retirement Booster

The longer we live, the harder our savings need to work. The Retirement Booster is a way to help your clients achieve both better health and a bigger pension pot. It could boost your client’s Retirement Plan every year, on top of their returns, helping their savings last longer. The more they keep invested in retirement, and the more they look after their health, the bigger the boost could be. It could add up to 50% of the income they draw down each year. Terms and conditions apply.

How the Retirement Booster works

The Retirement Booster only applies to the part of your client’s Retirement Plan that is allocated to flexi-access drawdown. In addition, to be eligible for the Retirement Booster they’ll need to:

  • Join our healthy living programme – that means holding a qualifying VitalityHealth or VitalityLife policy, or adding Vitality Plus to their Retirement Plan for currently £3.80 a month
  • Take part in the programme, earn Vitality points and improve their Vitality status
  • Keep their pension plan invested in Vitality funds

Once a year, we’ll look at how much income they’ve taken from their plan, how much they’ve invested in Vitality funds, and their Vitality status. We’ll use this to work out their Retirement Booster.

In order to qualify for our Boosters and Discounts certain criteria applies:

Funds as diverse as your clients’ needs

An investment proposition is only as good as the funds behind it. That’s why we’ve partnered with two world leading investment managers – Investec and Vanguard – to build our range of Vitality funds. The range caters for a variety of client objectives, risk profiles and investment styles.

Whether your clients want to invest for five years or 25, whether they’re looking to maximise growth, consolidate pension pots, generate an income in retirement, or manage risk, our funds make it easy for you to help them. We also offer complementary funds from over 20 other leading fund managers.

We have two types of Vitality funds that allow your client to prioritise income or growth at different levels of risk:

Performer fund range

Made up of high-conviction funds, actively managed by Investec, and designed to outperform their benchmark, the range offers:

  • Seven growth-focused funds, including multi-asset risk profiled funds, and UK and global equity funds
  • Three income-focused funds, including multi-asset income, and UK and global equity income funds

Risk optimiser fund range

Five multi-asset risk-targeted funds, using Vanguard index-tracking funds to gain exposure to each asset class. Each fund is carefully designed, with a mix of assets that aims to optimise returns based on each fund’s level of investment risk.

Complementary third-party funds

The Vitality fund range meets the needs of most investors. But some of your clients may need more options, such as investing in specialist funds or spreading risk through diversification. That’s why we offer a range of over 250 complementary third-party funds from over 20 leading fund managers.
