RISK FACTORS

Return

Is this product right for you?  
   

Yes, I am happy to invest because:


• You are prepared to risk losing some of your capital

• You want to add to your investment on a regular basis

• You may need access to your money at short notice

• You want a tax efficient investment

• You have a minimum of £3,600 to invest

 

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

• You are not looking for an investment linked to the performance of stock markets

• You are not prepared to put your capital at risk

• You want a regular income

• You want a known guaranteed rate of return

• You do not have £3,600 to invest

• You do not have sufficient spare money for emergencies

 

Investment Risks

The following list is a summary of the key risks associated with investing in the UK Protected Growth Plan (UKPGP). For full details of the plan please refer to the Key Features and Terms & Conditions at the end of the Plan brochure.

• 80% capital protection means that 20% of your investment is potentially at risk.

•
As with all stock market investments, the price of units in the UKPGP can go down as well as up, and investors may not get back the full amount invested.

•
If you decide to take withdrawals from the Plan, you should be aware that these payments constitute a withdrawal of capital and may be subject to Capital Gains Tax on any gains made.

•
If the FTSE 100 performs poorly over a long period of time, the Plan may become completely invested in cash. In a low interest rate environment, the potential for future growth could be severely restricted and the Plan Manager reserves the right to close the Plan and offer you an alternative investment under these circumstances. If this should happen we will write to you and advise you of your options.

•
The Plan Manager will arrange for the purchase of Investment securities from financial institutions rated 'AA or better (as measured by Standard & Poor's or equivalent) at the time of purchase, however this rating could subsequently change. In the event of such securities being unavailable, the Plan Manager may substitute the securities with alternatives with similar characteristics.

•
In the event of any issuing institution being unable to meet their financial obligations, you may not receive the full return and you could lose all, or part, of your investment.

•
Your circumstances could change, forcing you to sell your investments early. If this happens, you may get back less than the amount you originally invested.

•
Following your right to cancel, you will not be able to claim full reimbursement if the price at which your securities were purchased has subsequently fallen.

•
If you have invested via an ISA and subsequently cancel or withdraw from the plan, you may lose your rights to invest in another ISA in the same tax-year in which you invested. 

•
Tax assumptions are based on Keydata's understanding of current legislation and practice at the time of print of the plan brochure. The levels and basis of taxation and reliefs from taxation can change at any time and any change could be applied retrospectively. The value of any tax relief depends on individual circumstances.

•
Do not forget that inflation will reduce what you could buy in the future.
