RISK FACTORS |
 |
The Plan has a maturity of 5.4 years and is
intended as a medium term investment. If you
sell your investment before its maturity date
you may get back less than your Initial
Investment. Prior to maturity, limited liquidity
for the securities will be provided in the
secondary market. This means that it may not
always be possible to sell the securities at
certain times and that the price achieved may be
less than the original investment.
The structure and operations of Morgan Stanley
are such that conflicts of interest will occur
in relation to the Plan. Morgan Stanley has
processes in place to identify these conflicts
and ensure that they are properly managed and/or
disclosed to individual Planholders. For more
information, please refer to the Summary of our
Conflicts of Interest Policy contained within
the Terms and Conditions of this Plan.
Your money will be invested in securities issued
by financial institutions with a credit rating,
at the time of publication of this brochure, of
A+ or better by Standard & Poor’s or the
equivalent rating by Moody’s Investor Services
Limited at the time of purchase. These
securities will be designed to provide the
return for your investment. In the event of
these financial institutions going into
liquidation or failing to comply with the terms
of the securities, you may not receive the
anticipated returns on your investment and you
may lose all or part of the money you originally
invested. The Plan is not a guaranteed
investment.
Credit ratings are an independent measure of
credit worthiness. They can be applied to
financial institutions and are assessed and
reviewed by independent companies known as
ratings agencies (including Standard and Poor’s
and Moody’s Investor Services, amongst others).
Credit ratings for financial institutions can go
up or down at any point in response to changes
in the financial position of the financial
institution in question.
The growth returns of the Plan are based on the
performance of the IPD UK Annual Capital Growth
Index and do not include any return from rental
income, as may be the case if you invested
directly in commercial property. Accordingly,
the return on the Plan may be less than the
return from a direct investment in a commercial
property portfolio.
The underlying Index is based on valuation data:
as such the index may not necessarily reflect
actual market prices and it relies on the
ability of the index provider to gather property
valuations and conduct continuous, close
monitoring of such property valuations. The
commercial property market is illiquid and
complex. The index provider has reserved the
right to change the constituents of the index
and the methodology used in its calculation.
Properties may only be valued on an annual basis
for the purposes of calculating the underlying
index and as such the level at which the
underlying index stands may not be
representative of actual market prices in the
commercial property market. The impact of price
fluctuations in the commercial property market
may not immediately be reflected in the
underlying index (if at all).
This Index is a reference guide to the UK
commercial property market only. It may not be
representative of the market as a whole and does
not cover residential property. The Final Index
Level is based on a single reading of the IPD UK
Annual Capital Growth Index, as defined in the
Returns At Maturity section on page 3. Any
increase or fall in the level of the IPD UK
Annual Capital Growth Index at any time or on
any date other than its closing level on 31st
December 2013 will not be reflected in the
determination of the return on the Plan. There
can be no assurance that the IPD UK Annual
Capital Growth Index level on that date or that
the Initial Index level will reflect the then
prevailing trend (if any) for the level of the
IPD UK Annual Capital Growth Index or the market
value of the portfolio of properties used to
determine its value.
If you have invested via an ISA and subsequently
decide to withdraw, it may not be possible to
invest in another ISA of the same type for the
same tax year in which you have invested if your
cancellation period has expired. If you have
invested via an ISA transfer, unless you are
able to find another plan manager to transfer
your investment to, any favourable tax treatment
associated with that ISA holding will be
irrevocably lost.
Your circumstances could change, forcing you to
withdraw and realise your investment early. If
this happens, you may get back less than the
amount you originally invested.
The formula under which the return on the Plan
is likely to be calculated provides that in
certain circumstances calculation of the return
may be adjusted to take account of market
disruption events interfering with determination
of the level of the IPD UK Annual Capital Growth
Index. Should this occur, the return on the Plan
may be affected and may be more or less than
would otherwise have been the case. Similar
provisions are also likely to be included to
address any charge, modification or failure in
respect of the calculation and announcement of
the IPD UK Annual Capital Growth Index with
similar consequences.
Payments scheduled to be made in respect of the
securities in which the Plan will invest your
money may be delayed where market disruption
events occur (as described above), causing a
delay to the availability of published index
levels for the IPD UK Annual Capital Growth
Index, and potentially therefore delays in the
Plan Manager making payments to you. Where
necessary in the event that any such payments
are delayed, corresponding adjustments will be
made to the scheduled dates for payment under
the Plan.
MSI plc does not give investment advice. If you
are in any doubt about the suitability of this
investment, you should contact your independent
financial adviser.
Past performance is not necessarily a guide to
future performance and should not be used to
assess the risks associated with this
investment. In recent years the performance of
the IPD UK Annual Capital Growth Index has been
volatile. There can be no assurance as to the
future performance of the IPD UK Annual Capital
Growth Index. Before making an investment in the
Plan you should consider whether an investment
linked to the IPD UK Annual Capital Growth Index
is suitable for you.
The levels and basis of taxation and reliefs
from taxation can change at any time. The value
and availability of any tax relief depends on
individual circumstances. The favourable tax
treatment of ISAs may not be maintained
throughout the term of the ISA and is subject to
changes in legislation.
Tax assumptions are based on our understanding
of current legislation and practice at the time
of print and may be subject to future change.
