Important Notes

For structured deposit and investment plans the above information provides a product summary only. Complete details of the plans can be found within the relevant brochure and key features material which are available on request. Investors will not benefit from any dividends paid by the companies which constitute the listed indices over respective investment terms. Therefore, if markets rise, the plans will deliver lower returns than investments in an equity fund which includes reinvested dividends. The stated benefits will only be delivered if the plans are held for the full terms. If the investor were to cash in their plan early, they would be unlikely to receive back the amount they originally invested, regardless of the performance of the basket/index underlying the plan. Inflation might deteriorate the value of the capital received at maturity. Some of the plans place your ‘capital at risk’ and are not intended for cautious investors. For capital at risk plans, the security of the product depends on the credit worthiness of the counterparty. Failure of the counterparty could lead to you losing all or some of your original investment and returns. Furthermore this event will not be covered by the Financial Services Compensation Scheme. Please see http://www.fscs.org.uk for full information.
