Overview

The Arcus 6Y UK Defensive Growth Recallable Deposit Plan is a maximum 6 year investment that offers a potential return of 1.50% for each quarter the plan runs or 36% at maturity if no early recall.

The potential interest

During the term, there will be several opportunities for you to receive interest on your Deposit. This will either be a fixed interest payment if the Plan  ends early due to the Recall Feature, or an interest payment that depends on the performance of the FTSE 100 Index if the Plan runs for its full six  year term.

All interest figures are shown gross, meaning they show the interest you would receive before any tax is deducted. This Plan offers a potentially higher  interest than you could achieve from a fixed-term alternative. This higher interest compensates you for giving control to the Deposit Taker to decide  when the Plan matures, through the ‘Recall Feature’.

What is the Recall Feature?

On quarterly dates from the end of the second year onwards, the Deposit Taker has the discretion to end the Plan early. It may decide to end the Plan  early if it is in their interests to do so (for example, if interest rates fall and they do not want to carry on paying you the advertised interest over the full term). It can only end the Plan early on the specified quarterly dates. Once the Deposit Taker has decided the Plan will mature, you cannot prevent  this from happening.

If the Recall Feature is triggered, the Plan will automatically close and you will be repaid your deposit plus an interest payment. This interest payment  will be equal to 1.5% of the value of your deposit for each quarter that has passed since the Start Date. This is equivalent to 6% a year, not  compounded.

The Deposit Taker for this plan is Societe Generale, London Branch.  If Societe General (London Branch) were to collapse, fail or become insolvent and are unable to make payments due under the plan then you could lose a significant amount of the original capital plus any earned interest.  However, the plan is covered by the Financial Services Compensation Scheme (FSCS), and you may be able to claim compensation to cover your losses.

What are the risks?

This is a list of the general risks associated with investing in structured deposit products, please read the plan brochure and key information document for your chosen product to fully understand the risks.

Market Risk:  In the event of a global economic recession this may result in financial markets weakening significantly. Political or climatic events can also cause disruption to the markets. Economic policies, tax rates or interest rates are subject to change and can influence the performance of the  Underlying Asset.

Early Redemption Risk:  You should be prepared to hold the Deposit Plan to Maturity. It may be possible, subject to normal market conditions to withdraw from the Deposit Plan before the Maturity Date.  If you decide to encash the Deposit Plan early, you may not get back your Initial Capital

Inflation Risk:  The value of your investment and any returns you may qualify for are not linked to inflation. If inflation is high over the term of the  Plan, the real value of the Plan may decrease thus affecting the real value of any returns you may receive.

Counterparty Risk:  In the event that the Plan Administrator collapses, becomes bankrupt or goes into liquidation and cannot fulfil their  obligations to you or return your investment, you may be entitled to compensation under the Financial Services Compensation Scheme (FSCS). Deatils of the FSCS and current limits can be found at https://www.fscs.org.uk/

Liquidity Risk: In the event you need to withdraw from the Deposit Plan you may do so, subject to liquidity risks, by giving notice to that effect to  the Deposit Plan Administrator. You may receive back less than you originally invested in the Deposit Plan, especially in stressed market conditions. The amount you receive will depend on a number of factors and there will also be costs incurred for breaking the funding arrangements entered into in relation to your Deposit.  You should have other savings that you can access immediately to meet any emergency cash needs.

A Structured Product is a fixed term product which usually runs for between 2-10 years. The return of your original capital and any income/growth payments are usually dependant on the performance of either a basket of shares or more commonly a specific index such as the FTSE 100.

There are two types of Structured Products available:

♦ Investment based
♦ Deposit based

Investment based: At the end of the term, you receive the product return from the company that holds the investment plus a return of capital, providing certain criteria has been met.

The product is issued in association with a third party, known as a ‘counterparty’ who provide the returns and the guarantees. If this third party goes bankrupt, you could lose some or all of your money. This type of product does not benefit from Financial Services Compensation Scheme protection

Deposit based: Deposit based plans are similar to Structured Investment Products, however UK investors may benefit from the Financial Services Compensation Scheme’s (FSCS) deposit insurance scheme, subject to certain limits.
