Home Income Plan - a contract that allows people to use the equity in their house to
generate income.
Home Reversion Plan - a contract that allows people to use the equity in their house to
generate income and/or capital, in particular by a method that passes some or all of the
ownership of the property to an investor (person or fund).
Hybrid Arrangements - These occur when a scheme promises some kind of minimal value, irrespective of actual fund performance. For example the terms might be "1/60th for every year of service, or whatever the fund buys, if greater". If performance was good then the full fund will be used and it will be a Money Purchase Arrangement. If there was poor performance, then the scheme would pay out the 1/60th and be seen to be Defined Benefit.
