RISK FACTORS

Return

Is this product right for you?

Yes, I am happy to invest because:


• You understand that the capital return is linked to the performance of stockmarkets which may fall as well as rise.

• You are comfortable that your capital may not be returned in full at the end of the term

• You want your investment to provide capital growth rather than regular income

• You can afford to leave your money invested for the next six years and do not require access to it

• You understand that encashment before maturity might not reflect the performance of the market to date and could be less than the amount you invested

• You understand that returns may be higher than can be obtained from a deposit or savings account but carries additional risks

 

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

• You cannot afford to risk your capital  

•
You do not want an investment linked to the FTSE100

• You require regular income payments from your investments

• You require access to your money within the next 6 years

• You do not have other savings or investments that are easily accessible to cover emergencies

• You are unsure how the investment works

• You do not  have £3600 to invest

RISKS

• The overall returns will depend on the performance of the FTSE100 and could be less than your original investment.

• Your circumstances could change, forcing you to cash in early.
 
• If you transfer or encash your Plan during the term, except at an early maturity, you may get back less than the amount invested.

• If you exercise your right to cancel after the underlying investments have been purchased you may not get back your full original investment.

• If the financial institution which issues the securities for your Plan fails to repay the amounts due you could lose some or all of your investment. To reduce this risk we will only deal with a financial institution, which has a current credit rating of at least ‘A’ from Standard & Poor’s, or equivalent, which denotes a high level of financial strength.

• For these reasons, this Plan is only suitable if you can afford and are prepared to accept the risk that some or all of your capital could be lost.

• If you choose to make an ISA transfer into the Plan you might have to pay an exit charge to your current provider and could lose some investment growth from your current ISA if the market rises while the transfer is being carried out.

• The levels and basis of taxation and reliefs  from taxation can change at any time. The value of any tax reliefs depends on individual circumstances. Tax assumptions are based on Arc Capital & Income plc’s understanding of current legislation and practice which may change in the future.
