Investec have just launched their new range of Plans.
Read on for more information, as well as a list of key dates and links to access the Plan literature.
Highlights from the new range:
- FTSE 100 Income Deposit Plan 33 – Monthly – Income rate 0.21% per month (2.52% per annum)
- FTSE 100 Defensive 6 Year Deposit Plan 27 (Min Return version) – Maximum return now 18% (3% per annum)
- EVEN 30 Deposit Growth Plan 79 – Participation rate 200% of any growth in the Even 30.
- FTSE 100 Defensive Income Plan 22 – Income rate 1.15% per quarter (Option 1) and 1.50% per quarter (Option 2)
ISA Transfer Funds Receipt Extension – As mentioned in previous communications, the deadline for existing ISA Managers to transfer investors’ ISA funds to Investec has been extended to one week after the Start Date of all Plans (from one week before the Start Date). This has been done to hopefully reduce the amount of late ISA transfers that Investec are forced to reject. Please note the deadline for receipt of ISA Transfer application forms remains unchanged.
Key Dates and Deadlines:
- ISA transfer applications – 14 February 2020 (to allow for possible delays in the post Best Price FS request applications be received by 7 February 2020)
- Direct and new ISA applications – 6 March 2020 (again, to allow for possible postal delays, Best Price FS request applications are received by 28 February 2020)
- Start date – 16 March 2020

Don’t Forget the Risks
https://www.bestpricefs.co.uk/investec-structured-products/#risks
As with all forms of investment there are risks involved. These plans do not guarantee to repay the money invested. The potential returns of the plans and repaying the money invested are linked to the level of the stock market and also depend on the financial stability of the Issuer and Counterparty Bank.
The promotion of the plans does not constitute ‘advice’ to invest. Advice is always specific to an individual investor’s circumstances and needs, following the process of ‘know your customer’, with the aim of ensuring that any product is suitable for an investor.
As always, the recommendation and common sense approach is to consider product solutions as a portfolio, never over-exposing oneself to a point of financial pain and suffering liquid or counterparty exposure.
At the Best Price FS price point (when combined with our smiley and helpful service) the Investec plans are certainly worthy of consideration for inclusion within investment portfolios.

Simply get in touch if you wish to receive regulated advice in relation to the ‘suitability of the plans to meet your investment needs’.
