Plan Summary

The 50:50 Balanced FTSE Account offers the opportunity to benefit from the growth potential of the FTSE 100, whilst still protecting your initial capital.

Here's How;

Growth: 50% of your investment goes into a Guaranteed Equity Account, which pays a rate linked to any growth in the FTSE 100 Index over the five year term of the Account, so there is the potential for some excellent returns.

Security: Your capital is guaranteed - whatever happens to the FTSE 100 Index, you will get back your initial investment. In addition, you are investing with Newcastle Building Society - a long established and trusted building society.

Access: The other 50% of your investment is placed in an Easy Access Account, which means you can get at your funds without notice or penalty.
