Guidance
How it works
Options
Flexible investing
You can make regular, scheduled withdrawals, or ad hoc withdrawals from your investment, and when you die, the investment will form part of your estate.
You have total freedom to change your underlying investments. There is no charge to make a change, but depending on where you move your money to, initial investment charges may apply.
The Glacier Cash Option offers a cost-effective “parking place” for funds waiting to be invested elsewhere, or for investors looking for a low-risk, cash-type investment. You can switch to and from the Cash Option whenever you and your intermediary consider it an appropriate time to do so. This option offers access to the Glacier Money Market Fund and a select range of fixed income funds, and no administration fees are applicable.
