Prior to the 2015 LBGI Scheme (PDF), Scottish Widows plc (now renamed SW Funding plc) was the principal trading entity in the Scottish Widows Group of companies, and so its accounts were published for customers’ information. As a result of the 2015 LBGI Scheme, Scottish Widows Limited (formerly Clerical Medical Investment Group Limited) has become the principal trading entity and, in future, its statutory accounts will be published on this page.
Because the company is a wholly owned subsidiary of the Lloyds Banking Group, a more detailed commentary regarding business performance is given in the financial statements of Lloyds Banking Group plc.

With-profits policies
Principles and Practices of Financial Management (PPFMs) are documents that set out how companies manage their with-profits funds and the with-profits parts of with-profits policies.
Financial Conduct Authority (FCA) regulations require all companies that have a with-profits fund to produce such a document. We use our PPFM as part of the overall governance of our with-profits business.
Our PPFM applies to with-profits policies that were either:
- bought after 3 March 2000 through a Lloyds TSB branch or a Lloyds TSB financial adviser
- bought at any time in any other way, such as through a financial adviser or directly from Scottish Widows.
If you bought a with-profits policy on or before 3 March 2000 through a Lloyds TSB branch or a Lloyds TSB financial adviser, you should have received a letter in 2004 explaining how your with-profits policy would operate in the future. You can view an example of the with-profits letter here (PDF)
A summary of the PPFM
The PPFM is a fairly lengthy technical document. We have summarised it to help you better understand how we manage our with-profits business. This summary is called your guide to with-profits
