Give your savings a lift…

“The recent surprise increase to both measures of inflation continues to fuel the spotlight on low savings rates. The Consumer Price Index rose to 2.6% whilst the Retail Price Index climbed to 3.2%, meaning that taxpayers have to earn a minimum of 3.25% and 4% respectively just to stand still. There are currently no 3 year fixed rates offering 4%.

Investec’s 3 Year Deposit Plan offers to return 15% provided the FTSE 100 finishes higher than its starting value at the end of the three year term, subject to averaging. Your return is therefore dependent on the FTSE rather than being fixed, but 15% is equivalent to 4.75% per year compound – a healthy potential premium of around 1.25% on leading 3 year fixed rate Cash ISAs.

This plan is available for new Cash ISAs, Cash ISA transfers as well as directly (not via an ISA), with a minimum lump sum of £3,000.”
