A flexible investment allows you to access your money when you need it. This is ideal if you are looking for a short- to medium-term investment, like saving for an emergency such as unexpected home or vehicle expenses.
Features of a flexible investment plan
Whether you invest in a lump-sum, recurring or tax-free investment plan, you can access your money simply and efficiently whenever you need it.
Enjoy the freedom to choose from top local and international funds, managed by leading fund managers.
If you die while invested in a flexible investment plan, the proceeds of your investment will be paid to your estate.
Investing a lump sum can help you to save towards the lifestyle you aspire to. We give a discount on your admin fees to Discovery Invest based on your Vitality status, the amount you invest and how long you stay invested. This means you have more money to invest and grow.
Investing monthly amounts helps you to stay committed to your savings plan - and the money builds up over time. We give a discount on your admin fees to Discovery Invest based on your Vitality status, the amount you invest and how long you stay invested. This means you have more money to invest and grow.
This plan allows you to save without paying tax on any income or growth. The longer you stay invested, the more your investment will grow.

Our Flexible Investment Plans are designed to reward you for investing longer, living well and managing your money.
Enjoy a wide choice of funds to invest in
Your plan is a collection of funds. Once you have chosen your investment plan, you can decide which funds to invest your money into. Your decision should align with an investment strategy that you and your financial adviser agree on, and the investment goals you have.
We offer access to a range of unit trust funds across various fund managers through a single-entry point. This means you can invest in a Discovery Flexible Investment and choose investment funds that are managed by leading managers. This applies to all our flexible investments, except PrimeFlex, which has specific funds allocated to it.
