6 Years |

fall by more than 20% over the term, this does not necessarily mean you face a loss at maturity.
The unique ‘Booster’ feature allows you to receive a positive return if the FTSE100 Index falls by
up to 50%, and even cushions your losses if it falls beyond that. Nevertheless, this plan is not
capital protected and you should be prepared to lose some or all of your initial investment.
