Taking an income means that the amount in your plan will be reduced, and if you take more income than your plan has grown by, your plan will be worth less than the amount you originally invested. If you select the 5th Anniversary Capital Guarantee option any money you take from the plan will reduce your guaranteed minimum amount. The charges for your plan may vary in the future. The effect of charges is greater in the early years after an investment.

Please read section 9 of the brochure, What are the charges? on pages 8 and 9 for full details and any choices you may have.

During the 28 days the fund value may change, which means that the value you receive may be lower or higher than the value at the date you asked us Prudential cash in your plan. If selected, the 5th Anniversary Capital Guarantee will not apply if you cash in your plan before the fifth anniversary.

While smoothing is suspended, your plan value will go up and down more, in a similar way to the daily fluctuations of most other types of stockmarket based investments.
