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.

Investment Plans Explained

  • What are Investment Plans?
Investment plans offer savers an exciting saving option, providing the opportunity to invest in a variety of funds managed by professional investment managers giving them the potential to earn significantly higher returns that those offered on regular savings accounts. Investment bonds are usually used to produce long-term capital growth, but are also used to generate income.
  • What are the risks involved?
The minimum investment is typically between £3,000 and £10,000. Unlike stable savings accounts, there is an element of risk involved when investing in plans, but if you would you would rather minimise the risk involved you can choose a plan that covers your investment using capital protection, so you would only be risking your returns. As with most risks, there's always the potential to see a positive outcome, and by choosing the right places to invest, you could find yourself earning some very attractive returns on your investment.
  • How can I earn tax free returns from Investment Plans?
As well as regular investment plans, savers can also incorporate their Individual Savings Account (ISA) allowance, allowing them to invest up to £10,680 every year without having to pay a penny in taxes on the returns gained. This can be an extremely effective method for making your savings grow, as there is no limit to the amount of tax free returns you can earn within in any one year. Some people have been known to make it to the ISA Millionaire status simply through making good use of their ISA allowances.
