Barrier Level: 35%
Downside: 1:1
Capital at Risk Barrier Type: End of Term only
If the investment fails to produce a gain, it still aims to return investors' capital in full at maturity, unless the Final Index Level is more than 35% below the Initial Index Level. If such a stock market fall occurs, investors' capital will be reduced in line with the percentage fall in the Index.
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 0.85% 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: £90
Early ISA Transfer: £90
Other Charges: £15 for any proceeds to be forwarded by same day transfer (CHAPS) or no charge for standard electronic transfers (BACS) or cheque.

Given that there is no commission built into the terms of this plan there will be no cash-back available. Where no advice has been sought or given we charge a fee for acting as intermediary for all investments, which is 1.65% of the amount invested. Please note that minimum investment limits exclude any applicable fees.
