Product round-Up

Merchant Capital has launched its new six-year, four-week income plan: Capital & Income Lock-In. The FTSE 100-based plan offers a maximum annual income of 7%, which is observed and pays out quarterly at 1.75% providing the FTSE does not fall by more than 40% on observation. If the FTSE is 25% above its initial level on any annual anniversary then there is full capital protection and locked-in future income. The return of capital is not guaranteed.

Nationwide has launched a four-year Football Bond, which offers 4.15% pa for balances of £1 or more for annual interest options. The bank has also launched a six-year protected equity bond with a minimum of 9% gross return plus the potential for stock-market-linked growth at the end of the term. Investors who opt for the protected equity bond have the opportunity to take out an exclusive one-year fixed-rate combination savings bond paying 3.50% gross pa. There is a maximum potential return of 100% of any growth of the FTSE, Eurostoxx and S&P 500 indexes, subject to final year averaging, up to 50% of the original investment amount.

Aviva has issued a five-year, early kick-out, FTSE-linked product offering a potential return of 6% on its first anniversary.

Barclays Capital has launched two four-year protected deposit accounts: the euro digital deposit account and the digital deposit account will provide access to either the FTSE 100 in sterling or the Eurostoxx 50 in euros, respectively. The euro digital account is designed for use in offshore bonds and offers a 21% coupon if the index is at least as high as its strike level at maturity. The digital deposit account returns capital invested at maturity in full plus a 24% coupon if the index is at least as high as the strike.

Jubilee Financial Products has launched a version of its Best-of Real Growth Plan, which invests in securities issued by UBS and pays the growth of either the FTSE 100 or of UK RPI inflation, whichever is higher. The plan is a capital-at-risk product, with capital reduced at maturity if the index falls by 50% or more at the close of any trading day.
