With deposit rates at such low levels, we have commissioned an investment to provide:

1.    100% Capital Protection,

and
   
2.    Growth Potential (180% Participation) linked to a basket of currencies.


The potential outcomes compared with a deposit account (paying 3%pa) are outlined below:

Currency Bond growth projections, 100% capital guaranteed, 

Note: These figures are estimates only. Past performance is not a guide to future performance. This bond matures on 30th September 2013.

Summary

The investment will be subject to 28% DIRT on any growth achieved
Self Administered Pension investors will not suffer any tax on growth
The costs are borne within the investment structure i.e. your guarantee and the growth are based on the full 100% of your investment.

Previous Investments
We promoted two protected investments in 2009.  They were:

  Oil Bond
Credit Bond
Protection 50% 100%
Participation Rate 160% (Cap of 56% growth) 100%
Term 2 Years 3 Months (from March 2009) 3 Years 6 Months (from June 2009)
Objective Strong growth No risk, medium growth
Performance to date +56% +5.93%


These offerings sought to exploit excessive weaknesses at the time firstly in oil prices and then credit markets. The second offering was structured as a low risk alternative to deposit – the annualised return to date is 8.63% (8.63% AER).

We believe the current offering linked to currency markets provides a good complement to the 2009 offerings.
