RISK FACTORS |
 |
The 100% Capital Protected Growth
Plan may not be suitable for all investors. All reasonable steps
have been taken to minimise the potential risk to investors and to
operate the Plan in accordance with its aims. However, you need to
be aware of the following risks which may have an adverse affect on
the performance of the Plan:
• The Plan
aims to provide the potential for an enhanced capital growth plus
full capital repayment at maturity regardless of the performance of
the FTSE® 100 Index, provided that you hold your investment for the
full 6 year term.
• Any capital
growth generated by the Plan does not include any allowance for
dividends paid by the companies, which comprise the FTSE®100 Index.
• The Plan
Manager will arrange for the purchase of Plan securities from
financial institutions rated ‘AA-’ or equivalent (at the time print)
by a leading independent credit rating agency such as Fitch Ratings,
Moody’s or Standard and Poor’s. In the event of such securities
being unavailable, the Plan Manager may substitute the securities
with alternatives with similar characteristics.
• There is a
risk that the financial institution may fail to meet its
obligations. In addition, the terms of the investment may permit the
financial institution to withhold, defer, reduce or even terminate
payments in certain events, as a result of which investors may
receive less than they would otherwise or may have to wait for the
proceeds.
• Your
circumstances could change, forcing you to sell your Plan
investments early. If this happens, you may get back less than the
amount you originally invested. The value of the Plan will be
determined by the price at which the Investments can actually be
sold on the relevant Dealing Date.
• You cannot
claim full reimbursement if the price at which your securities were
purchased has fallen, when we sell them, following you exercising
your right to cancel.
• If you
invest via an ISA and subsequently decide to cancel, it may not be
possible to invest in another ISA for the relevant tax year in which
you invested.
• Tax
assumptions are based on Keydata's understanding of current
legislation and practice at the time of print of the brochure and
supporting sales literature. The levels and basis of taxation and
relieves from taxation can change at any time and any change could
be applied retrospectively. The value of any tax relief depends on
individual circumstances. For tax advice, potential investors should
consult their professional advisers.
• Past
performance IS NOT necessarily a guide to future performance and
should not be used to assess the risks associated with this
investment.
• 100%
Capital Protected Growth Plan is not the same as a bank or building
society account where capital is guaranteed and, with instant access
accounts, is readily available without penalty.
• The effect
of inflation will reduce the real value of what you receive at the
end of the term.
