The resurgence of investment bonds as a strategic financial planning vehicle was laid bare in the recent insiders INPractice Online Masterclass, “The Practical Application of Investment Bonds.”
Speaking at The Inside Network’s INPractice Masterclass, Tom Huntley of KeyInvest highlighted the resurgence of investment bonds as a flexible, tax-effective solution for intergenerational wealth transfer amid tightening super caps.
