RISK FACTORS |
 |
Investing in either of the Plan
options does not provide an income. You will receive your return
after three or five years (depending on the option you choose).
If you need a regular income from your capital, then the Enhanced
Returns Plan may not be suitable for you.
The Plan is designed to be held for three or five years (depending
on the option you choose). If you withdraw your money before the
Investment End Date, you may not get back as much as you
invested.
Your money will not be invested directly in shares of the companies
that make up the FTSE™ 100 Index. Hence, you will not have the right
to receive any dividends that these companies may pay to
shareholders.
Unlike directly investing in shares where your capital is at risk,
the Enhanced Returns Plan is 100% capital protected, provided you
hold the Plan through to the Investment End Date.
This Plan will return your initial capital in full, provided you
hold it until the Investment End Date. However, you should be aware
that the effect of inflation could reduce the value of what you get
back.
The returns from the Plan are capped. Even if the FTSE™ 100 Index
rises by more than the maximum return from each option you will not
receive any growth above the capped level. However, if the FTSE™ 100
Index stays at the same level or only experiences modest growth the
Plan could provide better returns than a direct investment into the
shares within the FTSE™ 100 Index.
The Plan enables you to make the most of certain ISA tax-free
allowances and Capital Gains Tax exemptions, so it is important to
consider your tax situation and consult your Financial Adviser
before investing.
