Is this product right for you?
 

The ZELGA could be right for you if:

• you’re happy to tie up your money for five years

• you want assurances that you won’t lose any of your money if the index falls

• you’re nervous about investing  directly in stocks and shares

• you’re looking for a return that is potentially better than you can get from a traditional bank or building society account

• you want to use your Cash ISA allowance for this tax year and/ or transfer the cash element of an ISA currently held with another provider.

 

The ZELGA won’t be right for you if:

• you might need your money within five years

• you want regular access to your  money

• you want to invest directly in shares and receive dividends

• you want to be certain of receiving at least some return on your money.

 

 


Important things to know

• Before deciding how much to save, remember that the account runs for five years from 8 July 2010 to 8 July 2015. You won’t be able to withdraw your money during the term of the account. However, if part of your money is held in a Cash ISA then you can access just this part. For any SIPP, SSAS deposits and those made by life assurance companies, withdrawals may be permitted at the discretion of the Bank. There will be a fee applicable for all withdrawals made, which could be substantial. (See Clause 4 and 28 of the Key features and terms and conditions for full details of fees.)

• Please note that putting your money into the ZELGA does not entitle you to any dividends from the shares in the companies making up the Index.

• The ZELGA is a secure home for your money. It offers the same level of capital protection as any other UK bank or building society deposit account. In addition if for any reason Dunbar Bank can’t meet their obligations to you this type of account is covered by the Financial Services Compensation Scheme and your eligibility for compensation will be determined by the rules of the scheme. Further information on this scheme can be found on their website www.fscs.org.uk

• Whilst you will get your deposit back (less any withdrawals from the Cash ISA option), any inflation will have eroded its value and you may have earned more interest by placing your money in a traditional bank or building society account over the same period. 

• The potential interest available from the ZELGA may be less than that available from a base rate linked account ie. a standard bank/building society account, over the same period depending on market conditions.
