Futurity Education Bonds
Investing for Education
Maximise Education Savings
Futurity Education Bonds are medium to long term products designed to invest for education costs in a tax-effective way. They're ideal for funding a wide range of educational expenses across all life stages. Withdrawals for educational expenses are paid from your Bond's earnings and attract a tax benefit, adding extra value to your withdrawals.
What is the Education Tax Benefit?
The Education Tax Benefit is an additional amount added to the earnings withdrawn from an Education Bond when used for education expenses. It represents a refund of the tax already paid by Futurity on the investment earnings and effectively gives you $30 back for every $70 taken from your bond’s earnings.
