RISK FACTORS

Return

Is this product right for you?  

To help you decide if the Plan is right for you, here is a summary of key points you should think about. Before investing, please consider not only the benefits but also all of the risks associated with buying such a product and the commitment you are making.
 

Yes, I am happy to invest because:



• I want to know the money that I invest will be repaid at maturity

• I want the opportunity to receive a return that might be greater than that provided by an ordinary deposit account at the end of my chosen investment term

• I am unlikely to need access to my money before the end of my chosen investment term

• I like the idea of gaining enhanced exposure to the FTSE 100 Index, while accepting any return will be subject to a maximum amount

 

No, this plan probably isn’t right for me because:


• I may need access to some of my money before maturity, especially in case of unexpected emergencies and I cannot risk getting back less than I invested

• I don’t want to risk getting back less than I would have done if I had invested in a deposit account – or no return at all

• I don’t accept the limit placed on the possible return

• I want a regular income from my money

• I am a regular saver and I prefer to be able to add to my investments from time to time
 

Things to consider

• The Plan is designed for investors who can invest an amount for a particular period and leave their capital invested during that time. As mentioned you can sell the investment before the end of the term but you may not get back the amount you invested.

• This Plan is not like a deposit account. All the Plan’s benefits are paid at the end of the chosen investment period. No income or other benefit is paid before then. If the Index falls over your chosen term, you will get no return at all – only your capital will be repaid.

• If the Index rises above the level at which the maximum return would be payable, you will not receive any additional return.

• Barclays use averaging to calculate the Final Index Level (except in the case of early maturity under the Early Maturity feature). While this averaging can reduce the potential for investment gain when the FTSE 100 Index rises during the averaging period, it can also lessen the effects of falls in the Index during this period.

• The FTSE 100 Index measures only the capital value of the shares in the Index and no allowance is made for dividends paid by the companies in the Index.

• Remember, whatever you get back at the end of the investment term, inflation during the term will have reduced its value.
