Key Facts
Investment Term: / 6 years and 14 days, with the potential for early maturity. Early maturity will be triggered if the level of the Index is at or above its Opening Level on any annual measurement date of the Plan.
Availability: / As direct investments, stocks and shares ISAs for 2009/10 and 2010/11 Tax Years, ISA transfers (including PEPs re-designated as ISAs), and for pension funds, trustees and companies.
Index / FTSE 100™
Investment Return / 8% per annum (simple) for each year the Plan is in force, so the returns at each possible early maturity date would be 8% (end of year 1), 16% (end of year 2), 24% (end of year 3); 32% (end of year 4); 40% (end of year 5) or, if the plan runs a full 6 year term and the Final Index Level is at or above its Opening Level, 48%.
If the Index Level is below its Opening Level no investment return will be payable.
Capital Return / Capital will be returned in full unless, at any time during the investment term, the close of business level of the Index is more than 50% below its Opening Level. If this happens capital will still be returned in full as long as the Final Index Level is at least equal to the Opening Index Level.
If not, capital will be reduced by 1% for each 1% the Final Index Level is below the Opening Index Level. Please see the brochure for a full explanation of the calculation, plus examples.
Counterparty Risk / The securities will be issued by BNP Paribas, a major financial institution with a credit rating as at 02 March2010of ‘AA’ by Standard and Poor’s. If the financial institution were to fail to meet the repayments due to us, investors could lose some or all of their investment. Counterparty risk is common to all similar investments.
Tax / Under current tax legislation gains on assets heldin an ISA will be free from any tax, while gains on direct investments will be subject to Capital Gains Tax.
Charges / There are no initial or ongoing charges. Charges are included in the pricing of the investment.
Early encashments and transfers during the investment term will be subject to an administration charge.
Interest / Interest will be credited on subscriptions received and held in our client account up to the investment date, subject to a minimum interest addition of £10.00.
Commission / 3%
Securities / Securities will be structured to provide the returns shown in the plan brochure, and purchased for each investor. These may be notes, warrants, shares or deposits depending on the nature of the investment.
