“How does 5% interest each year even if the FTSE 100 Index falls 25% sound? Well that’s exactly what’s on offer from this first release from newly launched MB Structured Investments.
The UK Quarterly Contingent Income Plan offers a quarterly interest payment of 1.25%, provided the FTSE 100 Index has not fallen by more than 25% below its value at the start of the plan – that’s a potential 5% per year, even in a falling market. If the Index closes below this level, no interest is paid for the quarter.
The plan has a maximum term of 10 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 35% at the end of the plan term. If it has, your initial investment will be reduced by 1% for each 1% fall, so your capital at risk.
Whilst interest rates seem set to remain low, the ability to receive 5% per year, even if the market falls 25%, might be appealing to wide range of investors.”
