It is now an FSA requirement that, at the end of each financial year,
Directors make a formal statement to their with-profits policyholders
confirming that they have acted in accordance with their firm's PPFM and
that discretion exercised by the firm has been applied in a fair and
reasonable manner. In addition, the With-Profits Actuary must state that,
in his opinion, the interests of the with-profits policyholders have been
taken into account in a reasonable and proportionate manner. Our report
for 2006 is attached below:
