“With the FTSE 100 falling just over 8% since the start of the month, we’re reminded that there are a number of plans which combine the potential upside of stock market linked returns with the peace of mind that full capital protection brings.

If you think the FTSE could go up in the medium term then Legal & General’s 6 Year Growth Deposit Bond could be for you. The plan provides a return equivalent to any rise of the FTSE (capped at 50% of your original investment), with a minimum return of 9% whatever happens.

Capital protection is provided by the Royal Bank of Scotland and you can use your cash ISA allowance, transfer existing cash ISAs or invest directly, making this an attractive addition to the options available to savers.”
