Think of our With-Profits fund as a big pot where everyone's contributions come together. 

question and tick

What happens if you take money out?

If you have a Unitised With-Profits plan and take money out of the With-Profits fund, we may adjust the value of your plan, if the value of the underlying assets is less than the value of your plan including all bonuses.

This adjustment is known as a Market Value Reduction (MVR). It's designed to protect investors who are not taking their money out and it's application means that you get a return based on the earnings of the With-Profits fund over the period your payments have been invested.
