    Key benefits of our Bond

    KEY BENEFITS OF AIA INVESTMENT GROWTH BONDS
    • If held for more than 10 years and complying with 125% rule, it is considered a “tax-paid” investment, as tax paid by us at the company tax rate of 30%. Plus no annual tax reporting unless you make a withdrawal.

    • If you withdraw in the first 10 years a 30% percent tax offset applies.

    • No personal capital gains tax on investment switches, withdrawals and change of beneficial ownership.
    • Select from a range of investment options investing in assets such as Australian and global shares, property, fixed income and cash.

    • Receive a one-off rebate on initial investment amounts of $100,000 or greater.

    What does it provide?

    • DEATH BENEFIT GUARANTEE
      DEATH BENEFIT GUARANTEE

      The Death Benefit guarantee provides certainty around the minimum amount that will be paid on the death of the last surviving Life Insured, which can be particularly important during times of market uncertainty*.

    • INVESTMENT OPTION GUARANTEE
      INVESTMENT OPTION GUARANTEE

      Offered on four of our nine investment options which are designed to provide certainty around the minimum value of the investment. The nature of the guarantee differs across the NC-Cash, NC-Global Fixed Income, NC-Diversified and NC-Conservative investment options*.

    *Terms and conditions apply. Refer to the PDS for more details.

    Who is this suitable for?

    Our investment bond suits a variety of investor needs.

    who is suitable for

    High income earners
    Earnings are taxed at 30 percent instead of your marginal tax rate. With the 125% rule not all contributions have to be invested for 10 years to acquire the tax-paid status.

    Saving for children and grandchildren
    Setup a Child Advancement Policy and within limits nominate when ownership transfers to a child. Alternatively children from 10 years of age can invest with parental or guardian consent.

    Retirees
    Can offer a tax-effective income stream outside of super.

    Estate planning and wealth transfer
    Our guarantees help protect your capital. No restrictions on who you can nominate and beneficiaries receive the proceeds tax-paid.

    Alternative to super
    No work test applies to contributions and nor do any contribution or lifetime caps apply. Access your money at any time.
