Investment-Linked Policies (ILP)

An ILP combines insurance protection with investment in sub-funds. The policy value moves with the funds, so the investment risk generally sits with the policyholder rather than the insurer.

It depends on the paper. SCI currently requires RES 5 candidates to pass both sections: at least 75% for Part I and 80% for Part II. M9, M9A and HI each require 70%. Requirements can change, so always confirm the current pass mark, format and syllabus with the official examination body before you register.
