SECTION 4a. INVESTMENT RISK CATEGORIES

WHAT IS YOUR ATTITUDE TOWARDS INVESTMENT RISK?

It is ultimately your decision to determine your attitude towards

investment risk. If you feel that you would benefit from guidance in order

for you to determine your correct risk profile this service can be provided

as detailed under Section 4b. We are however providing below a Risk

Management guide to help you.

CAUTIOUS RISK

You tend to prefer investments with a low risk of decline in value. You

are more interested in preserving the value of your investment rather

than receiving a return on your capital. However, within this attitude you

do recognise that in order to achieve higher returns, some risk must be

incurred and you are prepared to tolerate some fluctuation and volatility

in your investment.

BALANCED RISK

You are willing to place reasonable emphasis on the growth of your

investments and are aware that these are liable to fluctuate in value. You

can tolerate some fluctuations and volatility, but you tend to stay away

from the possibility of dramatic or frequent changes.

HIGHER RISK

You have an above-average tolerance to risk and are willing to accept a

greater chance of decline in value for potentially higher returns. You are

willing and usually eager to accept a greater chance of a decline in value

in return for potentially higher returns.

Important Notice: You accept that regardless of your selected

risk category all investments can go down as well as up and past

performance is not necessarily an indication of future performance.

SECTION 4. INVESTMENT OPTIONS AND DECLARATION

SECTION 4b. APPOINTMENT OF DISCRETIONARY INVESTMENT MANAGER AND DECLARATION

It is the responsibility of the Trustees’ approved Discretionary Investment

Manager to determine how your Plan is invested but all investments will

be made in line with your declared attitude to investment risk.

If you require assistance in determining your appropriate attitude to

investment risk and the risk management guide provided in Section 4a

has not aided your decision, a risk profile report can be created for you by

the Discretionary Investment Manager. Please refer to Section 5 for the

cost of this report.

If you wish to proceed with your own risk declaration please complete the

following statement.

I confirm that my attitude to investment risk is:

Cautious Balanced Higher

Note: You may select more than one risk category. By selecting

multiple categories your investments will be placed as a percentage in

accordance with each risk category.

SECTION 5. FEES AND CHARGES

created for you prior to the selection of your investment options.

APPENDIX 1. SCHEME DETAILS

1. INTRODUCTION

The Horizon Smart Plan (“the Plan”) is a Retirement Annuity Trust Scheme

and is an approved Defined Contribution Retirement Benefit Plan established

by way of an irrevocable Trust Deed. It has been approved under the

provisions of Section 157A of the Income Tax (Guernsey) Law 1975, as

amended and has been accepted by HMRC as a Qualified Recognised

Overseas Pension Plan. (“QROPS”). The Guernsey Income Tax approved

reference is OR.011876/T/BH.

The Plan is administered by Gower Pensions Management Limited

(“GPML”), a Guernsey company which is regulated and licensed by the

Guernsey Financial Services Commission, in accordance with The Regulation

of Fiduciaries, Administration Businesses and Company Directors, etc

(Bailiwick of Guernsey) Law, 2000. GPML act as Trustee to the Plan.

2. TRUSTEES’ ROLE

Independent Trustee

GPML will be an independent Trustee of the Plan and neither Members,

nor their relatives, may be Trustees of the Plan.

Plan Approval and Code of Practice

GPML will act in a manner so as to maintain Guernsey Income Tax

Approval and QROPS status from HMRC for the Plan.

3. SERVICES

GPML are the provider of administration services for the establishment

and running of Retirement Annuity Trust Schemes (“RATS”) and pension

solutions. In respect to the Plan, the following services are provided by GPML:

u The setting up of and establishment of an applicant’s membership to

u Setting up administration records.

u Receipt of UK approved pension transfer(s) into and payments/

transfer(s) out of the Plan.

u Arranging appropriate investments for the Member’s Fund via the

approved Discretionary Investment Manager.

u Reporting benefit payments to Guernsey Income Tax Authority or

u Creation and maintenance of banking facilities.

u Settlement and payment of benefits.

u Trustee to the Plan.

u Such other services as may from time to time be necessary to efficiently

The following services are not provided by GPML

u GPML does not provide tax or financial advice.

u GPML does not determine your appropriate risk profile.

u GPML does not provide investments advice.

u GPML does not monitor individual plan performance.

4. PLAN MEMBERSHIP & ELIGIBILITY

The Plan is open to anyone over 18 years of age and under the age of 75

years.

Membership to the Plan is subject to GPML’s approval, following receipt of

an appropriately supplied Enrolment Form and supporting documentation

as prescribed by GPML from time to time. This includes evidence of

identity, residential address, source of funds and also may include

evidence on health and/or marital status.

5. PLAN TRANSFERS IN

Transfers are accepted into the Plan at the discretion of GPML.

Prior to any transfer GPML recommends that the applicant and/or

Member seeks independent advice with regard to the consequences

of effecting the transfer and any benefits, guarantees, or bonuses that

may have been applicable in the previous scheme which may be lost

on transfer. There are times when a transfer into the Plan requires an

independent suitability report to be prepared and GPML reserves the right

to obtain a copy of any such report prepared by a financial adviser prior

to accepting any transfer into the Plan.

The minimum transfer permitted into the Plan is £15,000.00 though this

may be the aggregate of several UK approved pension transfers. We would

recommend that if the aggregate of your transfers exceed £50,000.00 you

should enquire about our open architecture scheme offering.

Applicants who are already receiving benefits (lump sum or drawdown)

from a pension may not transfer into the Plan. Only those UK approved

pensions which are not yet crystallized may be transferred to the Plan.

GPML may decline an applicant or transfer. GPML may view that the

transfer scheme is imposing conditions on the transfer assets that GPML

are unable to meet or are administratively burdensome or onerous.

In-specie transfers are not accepted into the Plan.

The member may be required to provide additional supporting evidence

as the source and origin of any transfer(s) to the Plan to GPML prior to

their receipt. This is in order for the trustees to determine that the assets

transferred to the Plan do not represent the proceeds of criminal activity

or are not in accordance with the Guernsey Income Tax Authority’s Code

of Practice.

If no disclosure is forthcoming, the applicant and/or Member understand

that GPML will decline such transfers being settled within the Plan.

6. INVESTMENT OBJECTIVE AND VIABILITY

Viability

Prior to establishing a Plan, GPML recommends that the applicant

satisfies themselves that Transfers into the Plan will be of an appropriate

size in order to be cost effective in relation to the administration costs,

intermediary costs, investment management costs and any other advisor

costs that may be applicable.

Investment Objective and Performance

The investment objective must be to provide benefits throughout the

Member’s retirement. Consideration will need to be given to cash flow

requirements, particularly prior to the payment of benefits. This may

involve liquidating assets at certain times when benefits are being taken

or about to be taken.

7. BENEFITS

Benefits paid from the Plan will be paid net of any Guernsey tax deductions

unless otherwise instructed by the Guernsey Income Tax Authority. It is the

responsibility of the Member or their beneficiaries to disclose payments

of benefits to the Guernsey Income Tax Authority or their relevant tax

authority should the member not be considered Guernsey resident for

tax purposes at the time of receiving benefit payments. Unless expressly

agreed, GPML will not be involved in, or responsible for, the Member’s or

their beneficiaries tax affairs relating to the Plan.

Options available at Retirement

Lump sum

A single lump sum payment, up to 30%* of the value of the Member’s Fund,

is available at normal retirement date, in accordance with Guernsey Income

Tax parameters and HMRC pension legislation. This payment is only available

at the commencement of benefit and prior to regular benefit payments*.

*or as the law as amended, governing the deed may permit.

Drawdown/Annuity

Regular payments from the Member’s Fund can be made, either quarterly,

bi-annually or annually for the duration of the Member’s life or until the

funds within the Member’s Fund are exhausted (which ever should occur

sooner). Drawdown/annuity quotations will typically utilise one of the

following sources:

i. UK Government Actuary’s Department (“GAD”) Tables;

ii. Recognised insurance company quotation;

iii. Actuary Quotation (Cost of obtaining an actuary quotation will be

borne by the Member’s Fund).

Drawdown/annuity payments and their terms and conditions may be

reviewed at intervals of typically not less than three years, at GPML’s

discretion.

GPML may implement an alternative drawdown arrangement and review

period, as agreed by the Guernsey Income Tax or HMRC from time to time.

Notification

The Member should notify GPML in writing at least 3 months before their

selected retirement date.

Disability / Incapacity Benefits

Should the Member become incapacitated (due to permanent and/or

total disability) prior to normal retirement date, then the Member may be

able to commence benefits as per one of the retirement benefit options

outlined above. The Member will need to provide GPML with satisfactory

information and evidence of incapacity and/or GPML may verify incapacity

with any suitable authority that it may deem appropriate.

Death Benefits

On receipt of proof of the Member’s death, GPML can distribute any

residual value of the Member’s Fund in one of the following ways:

i. To one or more of the Member’s spouse and/or dependents.

ii. To the Member’s estate.

iii. By payment to a new plan for the provision of benefits to one or more

of the Member’s spouse and/or dependents, for their future benefit.

When considering a payment GPML will be guided by the Member’s

wishes as per the Enrolment Form or superseded request (Letter of

Wishes) received in writing, subject to GPML’s discretion.

8. RISK FACTORS

The value of the benefits that a Member may receive when they retire

is not guaranteed. It will depend on a number of factors, for example

the performance of the Member’s chosen investments, the amount of

transfers, the age at which benefits are taken and future annuity and

drawdown rates. In particular:

u Some investments carry a higher level of risk than others and the value

of the Member’s Fund could be lower than the total amount invested.

u Investments into stock markets and/or exchanges and investments

linked to these fluctuate in value, as does any income derived from

them. Past performance is not a reliable indicator of future returns.

u Inflation could reduce purchasing power of the Member’s Fund.

u The basis and amount of tax benefits could change in the future.

u Governments and/or the laws and/or the policies of Guernsey, the

UK and/or another relevant jurisdiction relating to pensions and

retirement benefit could change in the future. This may affect the

benefits that a Member may take from the Plan at retirement age.

9. CURRENCY

Base currency for all Members’ Funds will be in sterling.

10. TERMINATION

This agreement will be terminated by either:

u The last payment of the provision of benefits (Retirement Benefit;

Death Benefit etc.) which have run their course and no residual value

relating to the Member is held within the Plan.

u The transfer out of funds to another corresponding scheme. A Member

may only transfer their Member’s Fund to a suitably approved /

accepted scheme and this is subject to GPML’s discretion.

11. REPORTING

Trustee Reporting

GPML will report to the Guernsey Income Tax and or HMRC in a manner

in which ensures QROPS status is maintained for the Plan and as per the

current obligations, and/or as requested from time to time as relevant.

Member Reporting

GPML does not normally provide annual reporting to the Member.

Continuous reporting is available to each member through their unique

log in facilities where valuations including details of transfers received

and/or payments made are available.

12. CHARGES

The charges of the Plan are set out in the Enrolment Form or as

agreed between GPML and the Member; a copy of which the applicant

acknowledges has been supplied to them. The Member acknowledges that

GPML is able to recoup any third party expenses incurred in administering

the Member’s Fund, as billed directly, from the Member’s Fund.

GPML reserves the right to share its fee with any third party, including the

introducers of new business, at its sole discretion.

13. ADVICE

GPML does not offer advice whether financial, legal or tax and nothing

provided to the applicant and/or Member whether verbally or in

writing whatsoever should be construed as financial, legal or tax advice.

Applicants are recommended to obtain appropriate advice (tax, legal and

financial) prior to proceeding with a Plan. The applicant and/or Member

hold GPML harmless against any advice sought and the consequences of

them not seeking advice. GPML rely on the applicant’s adviser to guide

them on the suitability of the retirement solution for them both on

establishment and in the future.

APPENDIX 2. FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

WHAT IS THE HORIZON SMART PLAN?

The Horizon Smart Plan is a Retirement Annuity Trust Scheme (“RATS”)

approved under Section 157A of the Income Tax (Guernsey) Law, has

obtained acceptance as a Qualified Recognised Overseas Pension Scheme

(“QROPS”) and is a tax efficient way to save for your retirement. Entry

is available to individuals who are deemed resident in the Bailiwick of

Guernsey and who wish to make pension provision for themselves. The

Horizon Smart Plan (“the Plan”) is administered by Gower Pensions

Management Limited (“the Trustee”) for the benefit of the Members.

WHY HAS THE HORIZON SMART PLAN BEEN ESTABLISHED?

Everybody is aware of the need to provide for his or her old age.

Demographic changes mean that providing for a source of income at

retirement independent of a State funded scheme is becoming necessary

rather than just desirable. The Plan is designed to receive UK approved

pension transfers ensuring that you have a more proactive involvement in

the growth and performance of your pension funds.

WHAT IS THE PURPOSE OF THIS BOOKLET?

This booklet is designed as an aid to understanding your pension scheme.

It covers the questions which are frequently asked by members and gives

you some information which will help you in your pension planning.

HOW DOES IT WORK?

The Horizon Smart Plan is designed to accept and then invest your UK

approved pension transfers in accordance with your appropriate risk

profile. You have the ability to self select your own risk profile or seek

professional guidance to determine which risk category best suits you.

Pension transfers are invested on or around the 1st of each month after

they have been received. These investments are then pooled together and

invested in the funds appropriate to your risk category. Pooling the funds

together for all members of the Plan means that larger investments can

be made and so costs are kept down.

HOW DO YOU JOIN?

By completing our Enrolment Form which is available on request and by

supplying us with your supporting due diligence you will be considered for

entry into the Plan.

WHAT ABOUT TAX RELIEF?

Tax relief is currently available on member contributions into Pension

Plans up to the lesser amount of £50,000.00 or 100% of your taxable

income per annum. If you have other pension plans as well as the Horizon

Smart Plan, please ask for further information or seek independent

financial advice. The rules relating to this are published on the Income Tax

website at www.gov.gg

ARE TRANSFERS FROM OTHER SCHEMES ACCEPTED?

Yes, provided there is no restriction on a transfer being made out of an

existing scheme then, subject to the consent of the Administrator of

Income Tax and HMRC, further lump sum transfers can be made into the

Plan provided these transfers have originated from a UK approved pension

scheme or QROPS. Transfers which are from unapproved pensions assets

are not permitted.

CAN I TRANSFER MY HORIZON SMART PLAN?

You are able to transfer your Plan either to another UK approved pension

scheme or QROP. It may also be possible to transfer your Plan into one

of our open architecture schemes. If you wish to know more about this

option please contact us on +44 (0)1481 700200.

APPENDIX 2. FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

WHEN IS MY NORMAL RETIREMENT DATE?

The Normal Retirement Date is 55 years of age but drawdown

commencement from the Plan must not exceed 75 years of age. This

minimum and maximum age is set out by HMRC and the Guernsey

Income Tax Authority and is as amended from time to time.

CAN I RETIRE BEFORE NORMAL RETIREMENT DATE?

If before attaining the Normal Retirement Age you should in the opinion

of the Trustees become Incapacitated, then subject to any requirements

imposed by the Director of Income Tax (Guernsey) or any requirements

relating to the scheme’s QROPS Status, the Trustees may immediately use

your Plan to provide you with an immediate lump sum and a pension for

life by way of an Insurance Incapacity Annuity or a Fund Incapacity Annuity.

WHAT BENEFITS DO I RECEIVE?

At retirement the accumulated value of your funds in the Plan will be used

to provide your retirement benefits and you will have a choice as to the

exact benefits acquired. Full details of the options available will be given

to you on retirement. Current HMRC rules allow you to take a lump sum

payment of 25% of your fund value at the time of benefit commencement.

The remaining value may be used to purchase an annuity from an insurance

company or you may elect to receive a fund annuity which is paid directly

from your Plan. The level of fund annuity you will receive from your Plan

is calculated by the preferred HMRC calculation methods.

WHAT HAPPENS TO MY PENSION IF I DIE FOLLOWING MY

RETIREMENT?

This will depend on the decisions you make at retirement, for example,

if you elect to use your fund to provide an annuity, depending on the

type of annuity that has been purchased, payment may continue to your

spouse and/or any dependents following your death. Alternatively, you

may select an annuity which ceases on your death. If you have elected

to receive a fund annuity from your accumulated pension fund then

the residual balance, if any, will be paid to your estate or nominated

beneficiary. The payment of tax may apply in the country in which the

residual balance is received and the Trustees cannot be held responsible

for any tax charge incurred.

WHAT HAPPENS TO MY PENSION IF I DIE BEFORE RETIREMENT?

On the death of a member before normal retirement date, the member’s

fund will be applied to provide a lump sum benefit and the Trustee will

have power to pay the benefit to the member’s estate and/or to any one

or more of the member’s relations and/or to such persons or bodies as the

member may have notified to the Trustee in the proportions and manner

that the Trustee decides. An election of beneficiaries section is contained

within the Enrolment Form. This should be completed and returned to

Gower Pensions Management Limited. If no such declaration has been

made by you please contact us and a suitable form will be provided for

completion. This is also available online.

HOW ARE THE ASSETS OF THE HORIZON SMART PLAN MANAGED?

The assets rest in the ownership of the Trustee, Gower Pensions

Management Limited. Some administration duties are undertaken for

Gower Pensions Management Limited by third party companies. The

Trustee has the right to acquire the administration services of other

companies or associations to ensure the efficient running of the Plan.

WHOSE RESPONSIBILITY IS IT TO SELECT THE INVESTMENT OPTIONS

FOR MY PENSION TRANSFERS?

It is the responsibility of the Trustees’ approved Discretionary Investment

Manager to determine how your Plan is invested but all investments

will be made in line with your declared attitude to investment risk. The

monitoring of the performance of those investments once they have

been made is the responsibility of the approved Discretionary Investment

Manager and the Trustees.

The Trustee is not authorised to give you investment advice and

HOW DO I KNOW WHICH FUNDS I AM IN?

All members admitted to the Horizon Smart Plan agree to the

appointment of the Trustees approved Discretionary Investment Manager

and it is therefore their responsibility to elect how much of your pension

transfer is invested in each fund. Further details of the investment

funds available will be provided prior to joining the Plan. Up to date

performance information is also available online through the login facility

which will be provided to you upon entry to the Plan. Statements and

Valuations are available at anytime through your online login facility.

WHAT ABOUT WEB ACCESS?

You are able to access your member information on the Web by visiting

the GPML website. To do this you will need to know your unique member

number and password. These will have been given to you when you

joined the Horizon Smart Plan. If you have lost your password, please

contact Gower Pensions Management Limited. All necessary forms, e.g. to

change beneficiaries or to effect a change in investment risk category are

available through your website login.
