Bond Series Eight Will Mature On 28th February 2024

It's time to decide what steps to take next to ensure your funds continue to work for you.

Your funds will be returned to your SIPP on 28th February

The target interest rates for Bond Series Eight were 4.75% per annum for the option with interest paid quarterly and 6.75% per annum for the option with interest paid at maturity, and the Bond is maturing having delivered these target rates.

On 28th February, your original funds will be returned – along with either your total interest gained or your final quarterly interest payment – to your SIPP.

You can log in to your account today and check the performance of your investment and discover your total returns in the "Portfolio" section of your Dashboard.

You now have two options

When Bond Series Eight matures and your capital and interest has been returned to your bank account, there are two options to consider in regards to what you do next.

Reinvest Using Your SIPP

Our latest Bonds – Series Eleven and Twelve – will launch on your maturity date, meaning you can seamlessly reinvest your funds using your SIPP.

Withdraw

Your funds will automatically be returned to your SIPP on 28th February 2024. You do not need to inititate a withdrawal.

Option 1: How to Reinvest Using Your SIPP

If you choose to once again reinvest using your SIPP, you will be able to do so into Bond Series Elevent and Twelve from 28th February.

Our Series Eleven Bond has a four year term, targeting an interest rate of 7.75% per annum for quarterly-based Bondholders and 10.00% per annum for maturity-based Bondholders.

Bond Series Twelve has a two year term, targeting an interest rate of 5.75% per annum for quarterly-based Bondholders and 8.00% per annum for maturity-based Bondholders.

Bond Series Elevent and Twelve will be live when your Bond Series Eight matures. Therefore, to reinvest via your SIPP, simply choose your preferred two or four year quarterly or maturity-based Bond and follow the process to invest, choosing the 'SIPP' option and following the instructions on-screen.

Option 2: How to Withdraw

When your Series Eight Bond matures on 28th February, your funds will automatically be returned from to your SIPP. You do not need to initiate the withdrawal of your investment and capital.

At this point, your money will no longer be generating a return for you as part of a CARLTON Bonds Bond.

Don't Forget: Your ISA Allowance Resets On 6th April

The tax year end is on the horizon and if you haven’t used this year’s annual ISA allowance there’s still time to do so on or before the 5th April 2024. The current allowance is £20,000 and remember: if you don’t use this allowance before 6th April 2024, you will lose it for this particular tax year.

  • Using any uninvested 2023/24 ISA Allowance

    Our latest Bonds, Series Eleven and Twelve, will be live from 28th February, meaning you can utilise any uninvested ISA allowance you have for the current 2023/24 tax year to invest should you wish to do so. As with Bond Series Three, there will be a number of options available to suit your preferences and requirements in regard to Bond duration and interest payments.
  • Planning for your new 2024/25 ISA Allowance

    From Saturday 6th April 2024, you will have a fresh opportunity to deposit up to £20,000 within an ISA wrapper. Our Bonds Series Eleven and Twelve will both remain open into the new tax year, allowing you the opportunity to target tax-free returns of up to 10.00% per annum with your IFISA investment.
  • Transferring In

    For investors with funds in ISAs with other providers, there is the option to transfer funds in from these existing ISAs into the CARLTON Bonds IFISA.

    You can facilitate a transfer into your CARLTON Bonds IFISA by logging into your CARLTON Bonds account, navigating to your 'Profile' and 'IFISA Details' then choosing 'Transfer In'.
