The FTSE 100 Geared Returns Plan is designed for the investor who is looking for a 5 year investment with potential for geared UK stock market linked growth and is willing to accept a risk to their initial investment.

The objective of the Plan is to increase your initial investment by up to 85% at the Plan Maturity Date. The risk is a loss of the initial investment on a one-for-one basis if the FTSE 100 falls below 50% of its initial level at any point during the Investment Term and the Final Index Level is less than the Initial Index Level at the Plan Maturity Date. If the FTSE 100 does not fall below 50% of its initial level, your initial investment is protected at maturity (please see maturity proceeds table on page 5 of the brochure).

This performance is measured by reference to an Initial Index Level and a Final Index Level and this is explained below and in the Terms and Conditions.

10 times any increase in the FTSE 100 Index Level subject to a maximum return
of 85% of your initial investment:
if at the end of the Investment Term, the Final Index  Level is the same or higher than the Initial Index Level, the Plan will pay an amount equal to your initial investment plus 10 times any percentage growth, subject to a maximum return of 85% of your initial investment (please see maturity proceeds table on page 5 of the brochure). Your initial investment is at risk on a one-for-one basis for any percentage fall in the Final Index Level compared with the Initial Index Level if the FTSE 100 Index falls below 50% of the Initial Index Level at any point during the Investment Term. If the FTSE 100 does not fall below 50% of the Initial Index Level your initial investment is protected at maturity (please see maturity proceeds table on page 5 of the brochure).

Full repayment of your initial investment is not  guaranteed:
The initial investment is at risk on a one-to-one basis if the FTSE 100 falls below 50% of its initial level at any point during the Investment Term. If the FTSE 100 does not fall below 50% of its initial level, the investor’s initial investment is protected at maturity.
