Products and services

To help you make sure that our Savings and Retirement products meet the needs of your clients, we’ve outlined the relevant information in our product profiles. These set out our products’ distribution strategy, main features, limits, suitability, risks, options and costs.

Links to each of our product profiles are below, as well to our adviser guides which provide additional information about our products. 

 

Risk ratings

Our Smoothed Managed Funds have been risk-rated by multiple agencies. The independent ratings allow you to identify investment suitability by confidently matching the fund choice to your client's risk profile.

Product Oversight and Governance Policy

Assessing ‘fair value’ is an integral part of our Product Oversight and Governance Policy; it forms part of new product development and enhancements, as well as the on-going product management and review processes.

Price and value

All consumers should receive fair value. This means there should be a reasonable relationship between the price paid for a product or service and the overall benefit a consumer receives from it.

Columbia Threadneedle's value assessment report

Columbia Threadneedle Investments work in collaboration with LV= to manage our Smoothed Managed Funds (accessible through the LV= ISA, LV= TIP, LV= Smoothed Bond and LV= Smoothed Pension). This report covers their full UK fund range and seeks to provide an in-depth assessment of the value provided by each of the funds and share classes, according to seven criteria set by our regulator, the Financial Conduct Authority (FCA).

Consumer understanding

It’s important that your clients understand our products and services so that they can make an informed decision in how they plan to meet their financial goals.

Investment Pathways options

Investment Pathways aims to support customers entering drawdown who haven't received a personal recommendation on how to invest their funds at the point of decumulation, although we believe they can also be used as part of your advice process.
