If the level of the Index on any
one of the Annual Measurement Dates
is equal to or greater than the
Opening Level, the Plan will make a
growth payment of 9% (not
compounded) of your investment for
each year that the Plan has been in
force.
In this event, the Plan will
mature paying a full return of
capital plus the growth payment.
If the Index is below its Opening
Level on any annual measurement
date, the plan will continue to the
next annual measurement date. Should
the Final Level of the Index be
below its Opening Level, no
investment return will be payable.
You will lose some, or all, of
your money if the Index has fallen
by more than 50% at any close of
business during the investment term
and the Final Level is below the
Opening Level.
In this case the fall in the value
of your investment will equal the
fall in the level of the Index
between the Opening Level and its
Final Level.
In the event of the issuing bank
failing to meet its liabilities you
will lose some, or all, of your
money. In this circumstance you will
also lose any growth payment to
which you may have otherwise been
entitled to.
The returns on Investments made by
individuals will be subject to
Capital Gains Tax (see page 11 of
the plan brochure).
