Check your annual policy statement or bonus notice if it mentions units at all then
it is unit linked.
If it mentions bonuses as an amount in cash and adds them to the basic sum assured
then it is with-profits.
Unit linked with-profit policies also mention bonuses, however these are usually
in the form of percentages or bonus units.
Only with-profit policies sell on the second hand market.
