Building Society/ Insurance Portfolio Plan Gteed Fund

Hi
Just looking after aged parents affairs now they are too infirm to do it themselves.
I have found a local Building Society portfolio plan guaranteed fund investment that is due to mature next month after 5 years, it seems to be a dual bond jointly operated by the local BS and Norwich Union with unspecified guaranteed return and life assurance to the value of the investment. ( ie if you die your estate gets 101% of your money back plus a percentage of the profits?

I cannot make head or tail of how the thing is supposed to work? Please can anybody explain it in simple terms?

Insurance based investments are useful in their personal circumstances as the capital is disregarded for social care funding.

Any explanation in simple terms would be gratefully received.
