The Merchant Capital Growth
Plan: FTSE Bull & Bear Issue 2
runs for 5 years and 3 weeks.
Any
growth is dependent on the
performance of the FTSE 100
Index ("the Index").
If
on 2 March 2017 the level of the
Index is above its starting
level (Initial Level), a growth
payment of 1% for any 1%
increase in the Index (uncapped)
will be paid to you upon the
maturity of the Plan.
If
on 2 March 2017 the level of the
Index is below its starting
level, you will also receive a
growth payment of 1% for any 1%
fall in the Index from its
Initial Level down to 50% of its
Initial Level.
You
will receive your capital back
in full, providing the Index on
2 March 2017 is at or above 50%
of its Initial Level.
However,
if the level of the Index on 2
March 2017 has fallen by more
than 50% from its Initial Level,
your capital will not be repaid
in full. In such a case, the
capital return will be reduced
at the rate of 1% for each 1%
the Index has fallen (see page 6
of the brochure for an example).
No
income is payable.
Any
capital protection and growth
offered by this Plan also
depends on Barclays Bank plc
remaining solvent. If it becomes
insolvent, i.e. goes bankrupt,
they may be unable to repay your
investment. This is known as
Counterparty Risk. If this
occurs, you may lose some or all
of your money and you will not
be entitled to compensation
under the UK Financial Services
Compensation Scheme. You are
however covered by the UK
Financial Services Compensation
Scheme if Merchant Capital
becomes insolvent (see the Risk
Factors on page 9 of the
brochure).
The
Plan is designed to be held
until the Maturity Date. If you
cash in your investment in the
Plan before the Maturity Date
the sum you will receive could
be substantially less than the
amount you invested in the Plan.
