Benefits of an Irish location
Standard Life International is based in Dublin and this brings us many advantages not necessarily offered by other offshore locations. As a result of being based in Dublin, we are subject to strong EU based regulation from the Irish Financial Regulator and limited regulation by the Financial Services Authority. Ireland is also a member of the EU and the OECD, which means we can take advantage of the agreements that exist between EU countries.

Before investing in an International Bond you should be aware of the risks and commitments involved. For more information about the International Bond, please see our Key Features Document.

All of the information on this website relating to taxation is based on our understanding of law and tax practice in Ireland and the UK as at August 2009. Legislation and taxation are liable to change in the future.
