Investment Risks


• Your circumstances could change, forcing early encashment of your Plan. 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. See ‘What happens if I cash my investment in early?’ on page 9 of the brochure.

• The levels and bases of taxation and reliefs from taxation can change at any time. The value of any tax reliefs depend on individual circumstances. The favourable tax treatment of ISAs (and any previous PEPs, now known as ISAs) may not be maintained in the future.

• Consideration given prior to making a transfer of existing investments should include the exit and associated charges of transferring your existing investments and the potential for loss of income or growth whilst the transfer is pending.

• The investment requires the purchase by the Plan Manager of one or more securities with a fixed maturity date. These will be held on your behalf and will have been specifically structured to match the Investment Objectives of the Plan. The Issuer of the Securities’ capacity to meet its financial commitments is considered strong. This is supported by an independent assessment from a leading credit rating agency, Standard & Poor’s, which gives the Issuer a rating of A+ as at 15th April 2008.

However, there is a risk that the Issuer may fail to meet its obligations. In addition, the terms of the investment may permit the issuer of those investments 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. 

• The  FTSE™ 100 Index is a capital-only index and takes no account of dividend returns. As a result you will not receive any dividend payments or distributions. 

• Linking the final amount you will get back to the closing level of the FTSE™ 100 Index on one particular day means that the growth could be subject to short term market fluctuations at that time.

• Careful consideration should be given to the benefits and risks of this Plan and its suitability to your own personal circumstances and attitude to risk. We would recommend that you take professional advice before investing.
