Protected FTSE Plan 3 is a six year
two week, capital protected
investment.
The investment return from the
Plan is linked to the performance of
the FTSE 100 Index (the Index).
If the Final Level of the Index is
at or above its Opening Level the
Plan will provide at maturity a full
repayment of your capital plus a
growth payment of 45%.
The return of your original
investment is not dependent on the
performance of the Index, however
you could lose some of your
investment in the event of the Royal
Bank of Scotland (RBS) failing to
meet its liabilities.
Any growth on Investments made by
individuals outside of an ISA will
be subject to Income Tax (see page 8
of the plan brochure).
If the Final Level of the Index is
below the Opening Level no growth
payment will be made, but capital
will be returned in full subject to
counterparty risk (see page 3 of the
brochure).
Direct Investments in the Plan are
in deposits with RBS and it is our
understanding that if RBS was unable
to meet its liabilities you would
have recourse to the FSCS.
The Plan is also available as a
stocks and shares ISA for 2010/2011 tax year,
which will invest in Certificates
issued by RBS. Unlike the deposit
version, there would be no recourse
to FSCS for the sole reason that RBS
failed to pay the amounts due to
Meteor.
