With
profit policy
Is a form of life assurance policy, which, on maturity, entitles the beneficiary
to participate in the profits of the life assurance or pension fund involved.
Under a conventional policy the insurance company declares bonuses during
the life of the contract (known as reversionary bonuses), which once allocated
to the policy cannot be taken away. In addition a final (terminal) bonus
may be paid at the end of the policy term. Under a unitised
policy the investment purchases units within a unitised with-profits fund.
Some companies reserve the right to adjust the value of such units in
extreme circumstances; this is known as a market value adjuster.
