Standard Life publish 'proposal for members' - inc. FIXED shares estimate £444 - £536

JCL

Should do as far as I know.

Do you receive their Members Update?
Did you receive a 'Confirmation of details' form last October?
Do they have your current address?

SL have said the packs will be issued between now and the end of April so if come May you still haven't received anything then give them a call. Prior to that have a bit of patience as the media says they're sending out 4m packs - not all going to arrive this week.

Just pleased they don't send Christmas cards. Why couldn't they make the number of shares info available on-line?

Thanks JCL I'm really bad at not opening mail that I think maybe just bumph. I did fill in some form recently though that I found after ages unopened telling them my details and it said if that wasn't filled in I wouldn't get anything, not sure if I will anyway.

Without looking for my exact details my wp bond started in 2002 sept. I think and I have made two withdrawals for living on so I don't think I will get much anyway.

Some size of cards you send then.

Have a bit of patience and I'm sure your pack will arrive shortly.

needmoney - you should get at least the estimated fixed element of £490 worth.

Yes.

See here for more details

It won't be a lot - £490 basic + a few % of your investment, because WP bonds have suffered heavily from the stock market losses 2001-03.

seriously underwhelmed by the figures i received

May we ask your share allocation, type of policy, start date and premium paid?

silvercar

757 shares.

One WP policy started in May 1988 premiums 27.71 a month and one unitised WP policy started in Jan 1993 premiums £60.54.

ReportInvestor

That seems to fit the pattern. I would estimate it comprises:

185 shares basic windfall = £490
+
16.9% of your contributions on policy 1 = 342 shares = £906
+
7.5% of your contributions on policy 2 = 230 shares = £610

So how many share will we get (that's the we as in my OH has to share his with me:rolleyes: ).


Endowment policy started in Oct 1985 @ £22.42 per month (£17k target)
Pension - started in 1988 £50 per month (never added to as told years later it's crap and OH now has occupational pension).
