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 10 and 11 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 two-year three weeks structured deposit features the potential for a 10% gross interest payment, provided at the end of the term the FTSE 100 Index closes at a level equal to, or higher than 90% of the Initial Index Level. If at the end of the term the Final Index Level is more than 10% below the Initial Index Level, no interest will be returned; however, investors' capital should still be returned in full, regardless of the performance of the index during the investment term.

Initial Index Level:

The closing level of the Index on 25 April 2025.

Final Index Level:

The closing level of the index on 26 April 2027.

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 16 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 2.06% of the original 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:

Early Surrender: £100+VAT

Early ISA Transfer: £100+VAT

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.
