Norwich Union has reviewed the bonus rates and payouts on its with-profits policies following its main bonus announcement on 13 January 2004.

The results of the review are:

  • Regular bonus and final bonus rates on both conventional and unitised with-profits policies will remain unchanged.
  • Payouts on conventional and unitised policies will remain at the current levels.

Commenting on the review, Norwich Union chief actuary Mike Urmston said: "Following our main bonus announcement in January this year, we have now further reviewed our bonus rates and payouts and see no need to make any changes at the current time. Unless there are any significant changes in the stock market in the second half of 2004 we do not expect to review payouts or bonus rates again until January 2005."
