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 12 and 13 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 seven-year and three-week structured investment aims to generate gross monthly income payments of 0.69%, which are dependent upon the performance of the S&P 500 Index and Euro Stoxx 50 Index throughout the investment term. Income will be paid provided that on each of the monthly observation dates, the S&P 500 Index and Euro Stoxx 50 Index close at a level no more than 20% below their respective Initial Index Levels. If on any monthly observation date one of the Indices close more than 20% below their initial level, no income payment will be made in respect of that period. The plan will terminate early from year two onwards if on any annual observation date both the S&P 500 Index and Euro Stoxx 50 Index close at or above their respective Initial Index Levels, in which case investors' original capital will be returned in full in addition to 0.69% income in respect of that month. If the Final Index Level of at least one of the Indices is more than 35% below their respective Initial Index Levels, investors' capital will be reduced by 1% for every 1% the Final Index Level is below the Initial Index Level. For example, if the Final Index Levels are 10% up for one Index and 40% down for the other, investors will suffer a reduction to their capital of 40%.

Initial Index Level:

The closing level of the index on 18 April 2025.

Final Index Level:

The closing level of the index on 19 April 2032.

Capital At Risk Barrier (Subject To Counterparty Solvency)

Barrier Level: 35%

Downside: 1:1

Capital at Risk Barrier Type: End of Term only

If the Final Index Level of at least one of the Indices is more than 35% below their respective Initial Index Levels, investors' capital will be reduced by 1% for every 1% the Final Index Level is below the Initial Index Level. For example, if the Final Index Levels are 10% up for one Index and 40% down for the other, investors will suffer a reduction to their capital of 40%.

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 2.56%.

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+VAT

Early ISA Transfer: £100+VAT

Summary Table

Income

Event Outcome
Canadian Imperial Bank of Commerce default = All payments will cease.
If not
If on each monthly observation date (unless an early maturity occurs) both the S&P 500 Index and the Euro stoxx 50 Index close no more than 20% below their respective Initial Index Levels = 0.69% monthly income payments received throughout the term
If not
If one or both of the Indices close more than 20% below their respective Initial Index Levels on at least one monthly observation date = 0.69% monthly income will not be paid for periods when the indices closed more than 20% down

Income

Event Outcome
Canadian Imperial Bank of Commerce default = Return of any capital subject to insolvency proceedings - potential total loss
If not
If on any annual observation date from the second year onwards, both the S&P 500 Index and Euro stoxx 50 Index close at or above their respective Initial Index Levels = Return of invested capital in addition to income outlined above
If not
If at the end of the term both of the Indices close no more than 35% below their Initial Index Levels = Return of invested capital only
If not
As one or both of the Indices are more than 35% lower = Invested capital is reduced in line with the fall in the worst performing index at maturity

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.
