It is imperative that you read the plan brochure and terms and conditions and understand all of the risks involved, which are outlined on page 17 and 18 of the brochure, prior to proceeding. If you do not fully understand the risks, the commitment or you are unsure as to the suitability of the investment for you, you should not proceed but instead contact us for advice.

Description

This maximum ten-year plan features the potential to mature on any of the plan's anniversaries from year three onwards, returning the capital investment in full, plus a 9.55% gain for each year the plan has been in force. The plan will mature early in the event that the FTSE 100 EW45 closes at, or above a reducing reference level which reduces each year from year four onwards. The Reference Level in year three is 100% of the Initial Index Level and this level is reduced by 2.5% on each subsequent anniversary and so will be, 97.5%, 95%, 92.5%, 90%, 87.5%, 85% and 82.5% of the initial level for years four, five, six, seven, eight, nine and ten respectively. If the plan fails to mature early and the Final Index Level is more than 17.5% below the Initial Index Level, no gain will be achieved; however, investors' capital should still be returned in full, unless the Final Index Level is more than 50% below the Initial Index Level. If such a fall does occur, the invested capital will be reduced by 1% for every 1% the Final Index Level is below the Initial Index Level. For example, if the plan fails to mature early and the Final Index Level is 55% below the Initial Index Level, investors' will suffer a 55% reduction to their invested capital.

Initial Index Level:

The closing level of the Index on 11 April 2025.

Final Index Level:

The closing level of the Index on 11 April 2035.

Capital At Risk Barrier (Subject To Counterparty Solvency)

Barrier Level: 50%

Downside: 1:1

Capital at Risk Barrier Type: End of Term only

If the investment fails to produce a gain, it still aims to return investors' capital in full at maturity, unless the Final Index Level is more than 50% below the Initial Index Level. If such a stock market fall occurs, investors' capital will be reduced in line with the percentage fall in the Index.

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: Approximately 4.76%.

If surrendered early, the value will be dependent on a number of factors and may be less than the original amount invested.

Summary Table

Event Outcome
Citigroup Global Markets Ltd default = Return of any capital subject to insolvency proceedings - potential total loss
If not
If on any annual observation date from year three onwards the FTSE 100 EW45 closes at or above a reducing reference level = Return of invested capital plus a 9.55% gain for each year the plan has been in force
If not
If at the end of the term the FTSE CSDI is between 17.5% and 50% lower = Return of invested capital only
If not
As the FTSE CSDI is more than 50% lower = Invested capital is reduced in line with the fall in the Index on a 1% for 1% basis

Fees

Given that there is no commission built into the terms of this plan there will be no cash-back available. Where no advice has been sought or given we charge a fee for acting as intermediary for all investments, which is 1.65% of the amount invested. Please note that minimum investment limits exclude any applicable fees.
