What is a Personal Retirement Bond?

A Personal Retirement Bond, also known as a Buy Out Bond, is a lump sum pension contract specifically designed for people leaving the employment of a company. It is used to transfer retirement benefits from the company pension into your ownership. The Acorn Life Personal Retirement Bond is an ideal way to secure your retirement fund, giving you total control over your fund right up until the day you retire. 

Flexibility is the cornerstone of an Acorn Life Personal Retirement Bond. We offer a variety of investment choices and your investment choice will be influenced by your selected risk profile.

Five Good Reasons to invest in a Personal Retirement Bond

1. The policy is issued in your name and belongs to you.
2. Your previous employer and the Pension Trustee(s) have no further involvement.
3. You choose the fund in which your money is invested.
4. You can choose when you take your benefits. This can be any time from the earliest date retirement was allowed under your company pension scheme. You can choose to take the benefits as late as age 70 even if you are still working to that age.
5. Your PRB will be invested in a fund(s) that is currently exempt from tax on investment income, and capital gains tax, so that you gain from all the growth and income that your fund earns.
