The Arcus 5Y UK Kickout Deposit Plan is a maximum 5 year investment which offers potential growth payments of 7.6% a year, dependent on the performance of the FTSE 100 Index.
The potential interest
There are several opportunities during the term of the Plan for you to receive an interest payment, depending on the performance of the UK stock market – specifically the FTSE 100 Index.
♦ There are set dates during the investment term (‘Early Maturity Dates’) where you might receive an interest payment. The first Early Maturity Date is three years after the Start Date.
♦ If the FTSE 100 closes at or above 100% of its Start Level on an Early Maturity Date, the Plan will mature early (sometimes known as a ‘kick out’), repaying your Amount Invested plus an interest payment equal to 7.6% (not compounded) for each year that has passed since the Start Date.
♦ If on the Final Maturity Date there has been no early maturity and the closing level of the FTSE 100 is less than 100% of its closing level on the Start Date (its ‘Start Level’), you will receive no interest payment.
The repayment of your Deposit
If the Plan matures early on one of the Early Maturity Dates, you will be repaid your Amount Invested in full at this time.
If the Plan does not mature early, you will be repaid your Amount Invested in full after the Final Maturity Date, even if the FTSE 100 has fallen.
Societe Generale, London Branch is the ‘Deposit Taker’, meaning it is responsible for providing the Deposit which the Plan will purchase in order to provide the returns of the Plan to you.

♦ You are comfortable with investing in a Plan that is linked to the FTSE 100 and have a neutral or positive outlook of how the FTSE 100 will grow in the five-year term.
