Bonus Bonds terms and conditions
Bonus Bonds are units in The Bonus Bonds Trust, a unit trust. They are governed by a Trust Deed between ANZ Investment Services (New Zealand) Limited ("ANZIS") and Trustees Executors Limited and a registered Prospectus.
No guarantee
The principal and returns of Bonus Bonds are not guaranteed or secured in any way by ANZ National Bank Limited ("ANZ"), any member of the ANZ Group or any other person. Units do not represent deposit or liabilities of ANZ or any other member of the ANZ Group. Bonus Bonds are subject to investment risk, including possible delays in repayment and loss of income and principal invested. Bonus Bonds investment portfolio is rated by Standard & Poor's, with full details of the current fund credit rating available here and within the Bonus Bonds registered Prospectus (PDF 2mb).
Purchase of Bonus Bonds
The minimum number of Bonus Bonds that must be purchased is currently 20 and then any whole number thereafter. It is intended that each Bonus Bond issued is purchased for NZ$1.00. Factors that may cause the unit price to deviate from NZ$1.00 are detailed in the registered Prospectus.
Returns
Investment returns in The Bonus Bonds Trust are placed in a pool and distributed as prizes to holders of Bonus Bonds that are selected, at random, in the monthly prize draws. In any month, the number of Bonus Bonds prizes and total payout are subject to change. There is no guarantee that you will win a prize.
Eligibility for prize draws
Each Bonus Bond purchased by you becomes eligible for the monthly prize draws at the end of the first complete calendar month following the date of purchase. For example, Bonus Bonds purchased in March will be included in prize draws from the beginning of May onwards. Bonus Bonds will continue to be eligible for prize draws up to and including the draw announced in the month you apply to redeem them.
Payment of prizes
You can choose to have any prizes you win paid to your New Zealand bank account or applied to purchase further Bonus Bonds. If prize payments do not complete, e.g. customer's bank account has been closed, or if your identity has not been established in a manner satisfactory to ANZIS, the prize money will automatically be used to purchase more Bonus Bonds in your name. Once your identity has been established in a manner satisfactory to ANZIS, you may redeem any prizes and change your prize payment method. Prizes that are less than NZ$25.00 may automatically be used to purchase more Bonus Bonds in your name.
Redemptions
You can redeem Bonus Bonds by completing a redemption request at any ANZ branch (New Zealand only) or your local PostShop. If your identity has not been previously established in a manner satisfactory to ANZIS, the redemption request may also require you to provide one form of photographic or two forms of non-photographic identification prior to the repayment being processed. Repayment will generally be made within 28 days of the Bonus Bonds Centre receiving a properly completed redemption request. It is intended but not guaranteed that NZ$1.00 be paid out for each Bonus Bond redeemed. The value of units is subject to change in the value of underlying investments however ANZIS anticipates that units will remain at NZ$1.00 through varying market circumstances due to the conservative mix of investments held by the Bonus Bonds Trust. Factors that may cause the unit price to deviate from NZ$1.00 are detailed in the registered Prospectus.
