A mutual bonus for your eligible clients

As a mutual we’re run for the benefit of your clients, our members. We’re committed to serving our members and creating long-term value for them. Our aim is for eligible members to share in the success of our business – we’ve been doing this since 2011 through the LV= mutual bonus.  

The mutual bonus is our way of rewarding eligible with-profits members for their support of the development and growth of our business. 

It’s important to us that you and your clients are aware how we declare a mutual bonus, why it might go up, down or stay the same each year and what factors will impact the rate. 

If a mutual bonus is awarded, the value of an eligible policy will increase by a percentage agreed by our Board and dependant on a number of factors.

** During 2023 we changed the approach for sharing in the company’s past and current profits between policyholders. This is now done by setting ratios of the mutual bonus for different groups of policyholders to give very similar outcomes to before. Therefore, depending on the product, the mutual bonus rate for our older policies will be set at three or six times that for the policies which are open, or were recently open, to new business. 
*** Smoothed Managed Funds products and LV= ISA policies must be live for a whole 12 months before any mutual bonuses will be added to the policy value. This means that only these policies that have been in force since 31 March 2024 will receive the 2024 mutual bonus. With-Profits Fixed Term Annuity policies available from March 2025 also need to be in live for 12 months before any mutual bonus will be added.
