Plan Summary

The Guaranteed Capital Performance Account (Issue 3) lets you benefit from any growth in the stock market, but provides the assurance of your capital guaranteed should the worst happen.

Here's How;

Growth: As long as the FTSE 100 Index grows or remains unchanged when comparing the Start Tracking Date with the Closing Tracking Date, you will receive a return of 40%/6.96% AER* on your investment.

Security: Your capital is guaranteed - whatever happens to the stock market, your initial investment is protected. In addition, you are investing with Newcastle Building Society - a long established and trusted building society.

Flexibility: Operate the account as a Direct Investment Account, or maximise your tax free allowance and open the account as a Cash ISA. This Account is also suitable for transfers of existing Cash ISA balances as well as SIPP/SSAS investments.

* AER stands for the Annual Equivalent Rate, a notional rate which illustrates what the
interest rate would be if paid and compounded on an annual basis.
