|
The Plan may
not be suitable for you if;
• You may need access to some of your money before the end
of the fixed term and you cannot risk getting back less than
you invested
• You do not have enough cash for unexpected emergencies
• You want a regular income from your money
• You are a regular save and prefer to add to your
investment from time to time
• You are looking for a short term investment
• You do not want to risk not earning any return on your
investment
• You do not have at least £3,000 to invest
|
• If you cancel your investment during the cancellation period, you
may get back less than you invested. The capital protection
offer is valid only at the end of the fixed term so early
withdrawals do not benefit.
• Your circumstances could
change, forcing you to withdraw your investment before the maturity
date. If this happens, you may not be able to sell the investment
immediately and you may get back significantly less than the amount
you originally invested. See Can I withdraw before the maturity
date? on page 25 of the brochure and How are the Investment returns
supported? on page 21.
• Your money will be invested in
Preference Shares issued by Sienna. In order to generate the
scheduled returns Sienna will invest the net proceeds of the
Preference Shares, in debt securities and financial contracts. It is
possible that these underlying investments will not pay out the
expected amount as a result of any of the issuers or institutions
concerned not meeting their financial obligations or that there are
unexpected liabilities or expenses that such underlying investments
are not designed to fund. See How are the Investment returns
supported? on page 21 and What are the other obligations of Sienna?
on page 25.
• The levels and basis of
taxation and reliefs from taxation for companies and individuals can
change at any time. The amount of tax paid and the value of any tax
reliefs received depend on individual circumstances. The favourable
tax treatment of ISAs and PEPs may not be maintained.
• The terms of the Preference
Shares which set out the basis under which the return on this
Protected Portfolio Investment is calculated provides that, in
certain circumstances, one or more of the constituent investment
funds may be substituted with a comparable investment fund (or with
a cash fund if no comparable fund is available). They also provide
that the calculation of the return may be adjusted to take account
of market and/or fund disruption. If any of these occur, the return
will be affected and may be more or less than would otherwise be the
case.
• If a correction is made to the
unit prices published by a constituent investment fund, adjustments
may be made to the Sienna Preference Shares to reflect the impact of
such corrections. However, no such changes will be made in respect
of corrections published after the final investment growth of this
Protected Portfolio is calculated on 3 March 2014.
• If you have invested via an ISA
and subsequently decide to withdraw or the offer of Preference
Shares is withdrawn, it may not be possible to invest in another ISA
for the relevant tax year in which you invested. In these
circumstances, you could lose your ISA entitlement for such tax
year.
• The value of investments can
fall as well as rise. Although the use of averaging in the
calculation of averaged growth (options 1 and 2) and final growth
(averaged over the last 12 months) (options 3 and 4) can result in
higher returns when compared with investing directly in the funds
themselves, it can result in lower returns, for example, in a
consistently rising market over the period of averaging.
• For investments by way of
transfers, there is the potential for loss of income and growth, if
markets should rise, while your transfer remains pending. In
addition, if the transfer is not completed by 22 August 2008, as your
previous plan would have been closed as a result of the transfer
request, it may not be possible to reinstate your plan with the
previous Plan Manager.
• The Prospectus sets out in more
detail the risks inherent in an investment in the Preference Shares.
