“It would seem the best way to kick off the New Year would be to take a closer look at our most popular plan from 2018, especially since the headline interest rate on offer is as high as it’s ever been before.
The Defensive Income Plan pays 2.0% at the end of each quarter, provided the FTSE 100 Index has not fallen by 20% or more below its value at the start of the plan (subject to averaging) – that’s a potential 8.0% per year interest. If the Index closes below this level, no income is paid for that quarter.
The plan has a maximum term of 8 years, but also offers the opportunity to receive your initial capital back in full before then, if the FTSE has risen by more than 5% at the end of each year, from year 2 onwards. If the plan does not end early, your initial capital is returned in full provided the FTSE has not fallen by more than 40% at the end of the plan term. If it has, your capital will be reduced by 1% for each 1% fall, so your capital is at risk.
There is also a second option paying 6.0% per year interest (1.5% per quarter) unless the FTSE falls 40%, and so whether you are defensive, or ‘super defensive’, the plan still offers the opportunity for high interest.”
