Guaranteed Growth Plan

Invest with total confidence

 

Guaranteed Growth Plan, provided by Abbey National PEP & ISA Managers Limited, offers a great guaranteed minimum return at maturity. It means that whatever happens to the markets, your capital will be safe. You can also earn more, depending on the performance of the stockmarket or the property market. All you have to do is leave your money untouched for the full term.

Why choose Guaranteed Growth Plan?

  • Peace of mind – you are guaranteed to get back your original investment and a minimum return at maturity
  • Confidence – benefit from our expertise, we were voted best Structured Products provider for two consecutive years (2007; 2008 & 2009; Investment Life & Pensions Moneyfacts awards)
  • Tax efficient – Guaranteed Growth Plan is available as an ISA or a Direct Share Investment, which means that for the majority of people returns may be tax free
  • Potential – you could earn more than the minimum return if the FTSE 100 Index performs well

There are 2 options available;

 

1. The Stockmarket Option where the return is linked to the performance of the FTSE 100 Index; or

2. The Property Option where the return on your plan is linked to the performance of the Halifax House Price Index (House Price Index)

 

You must have at least £1,500 to invest.
