"This plan offers a potential fixed return of 19.5%, provided the FTSE 100 Index at the end of the term is higher than its value at the start of the plan (subject to averaging). As with other cash deposits, your capital is also eligible for FSCS* protection.
The 19.5% return is equivalent to 3.01% compound growth each year, which is well over double the best fixed rate bond, and almost 2% more per year higher than the top fixed rate Cash ISA.
The downside is that the return is not guaranteed, and so if the FTSE ends lower, you only get your initial capital back.”
