Description

This maximum six-year structured deposit features the potential to mature on any of the plan's anniversaries from year three onwards, provided that the FTSE 100 Index, subject to five-day averaging, is above a reducing reference level, returning the invested capital in full, plus a 4.5% gross interest payment (simple) for each year the plan has been in force. The Reference Level in year three is 100% of the Initial Index Level and this level is reduced on each subsequent anniversary and so will be 95%, 90% and 85% of the initial level for years four, five and six respectively.

If the plan does not mature early and the Final Index Level is equal to or below 85% of the Initial Index Level, no interest will be returned; however, investors' capital should still be returned in full, regardless of the performance of the index during 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 five business days before and including 29 July 2025 (5 observations in total). However this plan has matured early on 31 July 2023.

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 12 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 1.07% 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.

Investec Bank Plc default = Return of any capital subject to insolvency proceedings - may be eligible for compensation via the FSCS
If not
If on any annual observation date from year three onwards, the FTSE 100 Index (subject to five-day averaging) is above a reducing reference level (see description) = Return of invested capital plus a 4.5% interest payment for each year the plan has been in force
If not
As at the end of the term the FTSE 100 Index (subject to five-day averaging) is at or below 85% of its Initial Index level = Return of invested capital only

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 4.5% interest payments payable from year 3 onwards 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.
