Details

The Equitable Life Payment Scheme design document explains the design and rules of the scheme in full, and also provides background information to the scheme.

The technical annex sets out the methodology and assumptions used to determine the relative loss or relative gain for eligible Equitable Life policies. It explains how those losses and gains are offset for each policyholder, and how, after allowing for the proportion of losses to be paid, the de minimis amount is applied.

The final document provides clarifications on the design of the scheme and its technical annex. The clarifications listed should be read in conjunction with the original documents and form part of those documents.
