    "The majority of people who would save tax are imaginary creations for sales aids" is my way of saying "niche option". I didn't say none of them existed.:)

    The set of circumstances which results in an insurance bond becoming a good option is so specific that it usually appears in sales aids rather than real life - although high net worth people to whom they do apply certainly exist.

    I can. It's SJP so it's been recommended as a tax ball and chain until proven otherwise. There are too many unconnected reports of SJP advisers recommending insurance bonds for no good reason for it to be dismissed as a few rogues.
