If the Closing Levels of both Indices on any Measurement Date before the Final Measurement Date are at least equal to their respective Reference Levels, the Plan will kick out, i.e. mature early, and make a gross investment return of 9.75% for each year that the Plan has been in force. The first Measurement Date will be on 29 November 2019, one year after the Start Date. If the Plan has not matured early, and the Closing Levels of both Indices on the Final Measurement Date (the ‘Final Levels’) are at least equal to their respective Reference Levels, the Plan will provide an investment return at the Maturity Date equal to 68.25% of the money you invested. If the Final Level of one or both Indices is below its Reference Level, no investment return will be payable at the Maturity Date.

Measurement Dates & Reference Levels (% of Opening Levels): 29 November 2019: 100%, 30 November 2020: 100%, 30 November 2021: 100%, 30 November 2022: 95%, 30 November 2023: 95%, 29 November 2024: 90% & 28 November 2025 (Final Measurement Date): 85%.

You will lose money if the Final Level of the lower performing Index is below 60% of its Opening Level. The amount of your money that you would lose will be the percentage by which the Final Level of that Index is below its Opening Level. In extreme circumstances you could lose all of your money. If the Final Level of the lower performing Index is at least equal to 60% of its Opening Level you will get back the amount you invested.

A typical investor who invests in this Plan will:


  • Be an Advanced Investor, with appropriate knowledge and experience of equity-based investments;
  • Like investments that provide known returns based on pre-determined market outcomes;
  • Want the potential to secure an investment return above that available from a deposit-based investment and acknowledge and accept the level of risk, identified by the Summary Risk Indicator set out in the Key Information Document (KID);
  • Be willing and able to tie up their money for the term of the Plan for the objective of capital growth;
  • Accept that they could lose money and be able to afford to do so;
  • Understand that in the event of a loss that this loss would be at least 40% of the money they put into the Plan, and could be considerably more, and in extreme circumstances they could lose all of their money;
  • Understand that any investment return is dependent on the performance of the Indices, which is calculated on set dates, and accept they might not get any investment return at all;
  • Know that the levels of the Indices can fall but do not expect the fall to be more than 40% of their respective Opening Levels at the Final Measurement Date;
  • Appreciate the importance of having a spread of investments to reduce concentration risk;
  • Know and accept that inflation reduces the real value of money and what it can buy;
  • Understand that equity markets are affected by economic and political events nationally and globally;
  • Accept that if the Counterparty defaults they could lose all their money and any investment return and that they would not have any recourse to the FSCS.
