Description

This four-year and two-week product offers investors the potential for a gross interest payment at maturity equivalent to any percentage rise in the UK RPI All Items Index between its February 2023 reference level and its February 2027 reference level. Also, an additional 2% interest payment will be received if the FTSE 100 Index closes at or above its Initial Index Level.

If at the end of the term, the February 2027 reference level for the UK RPI All Items Index is equal to or below its February 2023 reference level, no interest payment will be paid. Similarly, if the Final Index Level of the FTSE 100 Index is below its Initial Index Level, no additional payment will be received. However, investors' original capital will still be returned in full, regardless of the performance of the two Indices throughout the investment term.

Please note an additional 0.25% charge will apply to this product if you require paper-based correspondance, rather than online communications from IDAD.

Our fee for acting as intermediary for this investment, processed by CompareStructuredProducts.com and where no advice has been sought or given is 1.65% of the amount invested.

The plan's literature states that, in the event that the underlying deposit taker defaults during the term of the contract, investments into the plan may be eligible for compensation as provided by the Financial Services Compensation Scheme (FSCS). The availability of such compensation is, however, dependent upon the investor's eligibility as defined under the terms of the FSCS, and certain investment limits will apply.

Please refer to page 8 of the product literature for full details of the FSCS status of this product.

Charges

Unless stated otherwise charges do not affect the amount being invested as they have been taken into account in the terms of the investment. So, for every £100 invested, the return, provided the investment is held until maturity, should be £100, plus or minus the gain or loss in accordance with the defined terms. Separate fees may be payable to your adviser, platform or stockbroker for arranging this investment.

The initial charge incorporated in the terms of the investment: A maximum of 1% of the net investment.

If surrendered early, the value will be dependent on a number of factors and may be less than the original amount invested. In the event of early surrender the provider may levy an administration fee which will be deducted from the surrender proceeds as follows:

Opinion

Our opinion has been reached following an assessment of this and other current plans available at the time of publishing and on balance, this is one of our 'Preferred' plans. Please note, however, plans may lose their 'Preferred' status if an alternative plan becomes available which, in our opinion, has more attractive terms.

It must be appreciated that it is very possible that none of the investments featured on this site are suitable for you and so the 'Preferred' status or lack of it should not be construed as advice or a recommendation to invest. You should always ensure that you read the product literature carefully to satisfy yourself as to the terms and the risks of any investment before proceeding.

This plan offered by iDAD offers an interest payment of 100% of the increase in UK RPI All Items Index over the term. With multi-decade high inflation in the UK, we feel this plan is worthy of consideration as part of a diversified portfolio to protect against the real losses caused by inflation. Over the twelve months to March 2023 RPI increased by 13.5% and whilst we do not expect the annual rate of increase to remain this high, this deposit will maintain spending power over the term whatever the increase is. Additionally the deposit offers 2% extra interest potential, payable if the FTSE 100 rises.
