Guaranteed Capital Plus

Potential stock market growth, with added safety

 

With Guaranteed Capital Plus, provided by Abbey National PEP & ISA Managers Limited, you'll benefit from a great fixed return if the FTSE 100 Index has stayed the same or grown by any amount at maturity, even 1 point. And, just like our Guaranteed Growth Plan, you’re assured a minimum return at the end of the term if the Index has gone down; provided you leave your money untouched for the full term.

Why choose Guaranteed Capital Plus?

  • Peace of mind – you are guaranteed to get back your original investment, plus a minimum return, at maturity
  • Potential – you could earn the maximum return if the FTSE 100 Index has stayed the same or gone up by any amount, even 1 point, 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 – it’s available as an ISA or a Direct Share Investment, which means that for the majority of people returns may be tax free

 

Available as either a three and three quarters (33/4) or a five and a half (51/2 ) year investment.

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