Three-year option
A fixed 18.75% investment return after three years
Five-year option
A fixed 40% investment return after five years

Annual Kick-out option
Variable term between one and five years: it will mature on the first anniversary when the FTSE 100 Index is the same level or higher than the initial level.  Should this happen, the Plan will come to an end: you will receive your capital back plus a return of 12.75% multiplied by the number of years the Plan has been in force.  If by the fifth anniversary the index is lower than its initial level you will get your capital back provided it has not fallen during the term to less than 50% of its initial level.

The information on the preceding table has been obtained from the product providers’ literature, and is intended as a brief summary of the investments listed. Investors are expected to have read the product providers literature thoroughly to ascertain all the facts before investing, including the levels of risk involved to capital return, and therefore potential risks to future income from any reinvestment of reduced capital. Plan investment dates may be earlier in the event of over-subscription.

Power Robbins do not offer any recommendation or criticism of any one product over another. If more space is taken up on some products than others, it is because more words were needed to give a brief summary of the product provider’s description.

Sometimes product providers offer SIPP investments, but we do not have a cost-saving offer. This is because that particular provider will not use part of our commission to reduce the plan charges; and cashback payments are not permitted for pension subscriptions.
