It will not be suitable if:
● You will need access to your
money at any time during the term of the Guaranteed Return Bond
● You are looking for a short-term investment
● You want a building society account that could pay more interest
than the growth
of the Guaranteed Return Bond, depending on market
conditions
● You wish to invest directly in the stock market which offers no
guarantee that your original investment will be returned
● You want a regular income from your money
● You haven’t set aside any money for cash emergencies |
RISKS
• In order to obtain the
maximum 48% growth, the level of the FTSE-100 Index must
rise by at least 3% during each of the 16 periods. Based
on historical figures there is a probability that the
maximum 48% growth will not occur.
• You cannot have access to your money (except in the
case of the cash ISA option) until the Guaranteed Return
Bond (Issue 6) reaches maturity.
• The level of the FTSE-100 Index may fall as well as
rise and past performance is no guide to future
performance. Accordingly, there is no guarantee that you
will receive more than the return of your investment
even in a rising market, plus the minimum 10% growth
over the four year term.
*Performance (up or down) is capped at 3% per quarter
•Your money is not invested directly in shares. The
FTSE-100 Index is used only as a measure to determine
growth, so you do not benefit from any dividend income.
• The potential return is reduced when compared to
direct stock market investment, but direct stock market
investment carries no guarantee of your original
investment, nor a guaranteed return. We guarantee the
return of your original investment (less any withdrawals
made – cash ISA option only).
• Although we guarantee to repay the value of your
investment (or remaining capital, in the case of a cash
ISA investment where withdrawals have been taken), plus
the minimum 10% growth over the four year term, on
maturity of the Guaranteed Return Bond (Issue 6), the
real value of the money you invest may depreciate in
real terms as a result of inflation.
• You should remember that past performance is not
necessarily a guide to the future, and the value of
investments may go down as well as up.
•With regard to cash ISA Guaranteed Return Bond (Issue
6), returns and interest will be based on the balance
remaining at Maturity.
•The Guaranteed Return Bond (Issue 6) may grow by less
than a building society account, depending on market
conditions.
