RISK FACTORS |
 |
• The Plan
aims to provide the potential for an accelerated
capital growth plus capital repayment at
maturity that is dependent on the performance of
the FTSE™ 100 Index. The ability to provide this
growth is achieved by exposing your capital to
risk. On maturity you may not receive back the
original capital invested.
If the Closing Level of the FTSE™ 100 Index is
less than 50% of the corresponding Start Index
Level on any business day during the term of the
investment it is likely to lead to the decrease
of an Investor’s investment capital. Please see
the section ‘Your capital repayment’ in the
Dynamic Growth Plan Plus Brochures for full
details.
• Any capital
growth generated by the Plan does not include
any allowance for dividends paid by the
companies which comprise the FTSE™ 100 Index.
• The Plan
Manager will arrange for the purchase of Plan
securities from financial institutions rated
‘AA’ or better (as measured by Standard & Poor’s
or equivalent) at the time of purchase. In the
event of such securities being unavailable, the
Plan Manager may substitute the securities with
alternatives with similar characteristics.
• There is a
risk that the financial institution may fail to
meet its obligations. In addition, the terms of
the investment may permit the financial
institution to withhold, defer, reduce or even
terminate payments in certain events, as a
result of which investors may receive less than
they would otherwise or may have to wait for the
proceeds.
• Your
circumstances could change, forcing you to sell
your Plan investments early. If this happens,
you may get back less than the amount you
originally invested. The value of the Plan will
be determined by the price at which the
Investments can actually be sold on the relevant
Dealing Date.
• You cannot
claim full reimbursement if the price at which
your securities were purchased has fallen, when
we sell them, following you exercising your
right to cancel.
• If you have
invested via an ISA and subsequently decide to
cancel, it may not be possible to invest in
another ISA for the relevant tax year in which
you invested.
• Tax
assumptions are based on our understanding of
current legislation and practice at the time of
print. 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. For tax advice, potential
investors should consult their professional
advisers.
• Past
performance IS NOT necessarily a guide to future
performance and should not be used to assess the
risks associated with this investment.
• The Dynamic
Growth Plan Plus is not the same as a bank or
building society account where capital is
guaranteed and, with instant access accounts, is
readily available without penalty.
• The effect
of inflation will reduce the real value of what
you receive at the end of the term.
