Risks

All investment involves risk and you could lose some or all of the money you invest.

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 11 and 12 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 product features the potential to mature on any of the plan's anniversaries from the third year onwards, returning the capital investment in full, plus an 8.35% gain for each year the plan has been in force. The plan will mature early in the event that the FTSE 100 EW45 Point Decrement Index closes at, or above a reducing reference level. The reference level in year three is 100% of the Initial Index Level and reduces by 5% for each subsequent anniversary and so will be, 95% in year four, 90% in year five, 85% in year six, 80% in year seven, 75% in year eight, 70% in year nine and finally 65% in year ten. If the plan fails to mature early and the Final Index Level is less than 65% of 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 Type: End of Term only

If the investment fails to mature early, and the final index level is at or above 50% of its initial level, investors' capital should be returned in full. However, if the final index level is more than 50% below its initial price, investors will suffer a reduction to their invested capital of 1% for every 1% the final index level is below its initial level.

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 4.59%

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:

Early Surrender: £100

Early ISA Transfer: £100
