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.

As a deposit, this plan is designed to return investors' capital in full at maturity, regardless of the movement in the Index during the investment term.

Initial Index Level:

The closing level of the Index on 11 April 2025.

Final Index Level:

Financial Services Compensation Scheme

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 10 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: Approximately 4.00%.

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
