Winterthur International, the new offshore division of AXA’s wealth management business, has launched an International Investment Bond. Provided by AXA Isle of Man, the new product consists of a unit-linked single premium investment bond available with a range of trusts. A discounted gift scheme will also be available with a choice of bare or discretionary trusts. David Thompson, managing director of sales and marketing at AXA & Winterthur Wealth Management, said: "The Winterthur International Investment Bond will be backed by a strong technology offering and the tailored selection and elite fund of fund investment ranges.” Winterthur, the insurer and asset management business acquired by AXA from Credit Suisse in 2006, reported assets under management of $22 billion as of 31 June last year.
