Our most popular income plan over the last 12 months, Investec’s Defensive Income Plan includes two investment options, offering 7.20% per year unless the FTSE falls 20%, or 5.80% unless the FTSE falls 40%.

With the Investec Defensive Income Plan interest is paid at the end of each quarter provided the FTSE has not fallen by 20% or 40% respectively, below its value at the start of the plan (subject to averaging). If the Index closes below these levels, 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 fallen below this level, your capital will be reduced by 1% for each 1% fall, so you could lose some or all of your initial investment.

So whether you are defensive, or ‘super defensive’, this plan still offers the opportunity for high interest.
