Description

This six-year structured deposit offers investors the potential for a gross interest payment of 42% provided that the FTSE 100 Index, subject to averaging over the final six months, is above the Initial Index Level at maturity.

As a deposit, this plan is designed to return investors' capital in full at maturity, regardless of the movement in the Index throughout the investment term.

Our fee for acting as intermediary for this investment, processed by CompareStructuredProducts.com and where no advice has been sought or given is 1.65% of the amount invested. For investments over £100,000 please contact us for preferential fees.

Contract Details

Initial Index Level:

The closing level of the Index on 29 July 2019.

Final Index Level:

The average of the daily closing levels of the Index taken over the final six months of the investment term, from and including 29 January 2025 until 29 July 2025, inclusive.

Please note that whilst the averaging used to determine the Final Index Level may offer a degree of protection against the index falling dramatically towards, or immediately prior to maturity, conversely, this averaging could constrain the benefits of the market rising gradually towards, or sharply immediately prior to maturity.

Financial Services Compensation Scheme

The plan's literature states that, in the event that the underlying deposit taker defaults during the term of the contract, investments into the plan may be eligible for compensation as provided by the Financial Services Compensation Scheme (FSCS). The availability of such compensation is, however, dependent upon the investor's eligibility as defined under the terms of the FSCS, and certain investment limits will apply.

Please refer to page 11 of the product literature for full details of the FSCS status of this product.

Charges

Unless stated otherwise charges do not affect the amount being invested as they have been taken into account in the terms of the investment. So, for every £100 invested, the return, provided the investment is held until maturity, should be £100, plus or minus the gain or loss in accordance with the defined terms. Separate fees may be payable to your adviser, platform or stockbroker for arranging this investment.

The initial charge incorporated in the terms of the investment: Approximately 1.88% of the original investment.

If surrendered early, the value will be dependent on a number of factors and may be less than the original amount invested. In the event of early surrender the provider may levy an administration fee which will be deducted from the surrender proceeds as follows:

Early Surrender: 1% of the value of your plan.

Opinion

Our opinion has been reached following an assessment of this and other current plans available at the time of publishing and on balance, this is one of our 'Preferred' plans. Please note, however, plans may lose their 'Preferred' status if an alternative plan becomes available which, in our opinion, has more attractive terms.

It must be appreciated that it is very possible that none of the investments featured on this site are suitable for you and so the 'Preferred' status or lack of it should not be construed as advice or a recommendation to invest. You should always ensure that you read the product literature carefully to satisfy yourself as to the terms and the risks of any investment before proceeding.

We feel that in the context of the capital protection offered by a deposit plan, the potential for a 42% interest payment payable at the end of the 6 year term is an attractive proposition. On balance we feel this offers a reasonable return for deposit-based product and could be used together within a portfolio or as part of a spread of other deposits.
