Smoothed Managed Funds Trustee Investment Plan (LV= TIP)
The LV= TIP is a plan which invests in our Smoothed Managed Funds. It allows you access to our unique funds as part of your investment strategy in Self-invested Personal Pensions (SIPP) or Small Self-administered Schemes (SSAS).
The LV= TIP is a plan taken out by scheme trustees for the benefit of a designated scheme member.
The funds are 'with-profit' investments, which means you'll get the benefit of the growth in the funds, as well as any additional with-profits member bonuses.
It’s a stock market-related investment, available to UK residents up to and including the age of 84 at outset.
Our Smoothed funds are also available through the LV= Pension wrapper (Flexible Transitions Account). Please speak to your financial adviser to find out more.
Our investments come with 100% protection from the Financial Services Compensation Scheme (FSCS).
Please remember this is a stock-market related investment. Your investment could go down as well as up, so you could get back less than you paid in. For advice please speak to your financial adviser.
