The amount of your money that you would lose will be the percentage by which the Final Level of that Index is below its Opening Level. In extreme circumstances you could lose all of your money. If the Final Level of the lower performing Index is at least equal to 65% of its Opening Level you will get back the amount you invested. Investment Return Option 1: If the Closing Level of the Index on any Quarterly Measurement Date is at least equal to 80% of its Opening Level, the Plan will pay a gross income of 1.25% for that quarter. No income will be payable for a quarter if the Closing Level of the Index is below 80% of its Opening Level on the Quarterly Measurement Date. Option 2: If the Closing Level of the Index on any Quarterly Measurement Date is at least equal to 85% of its Opening Level, the Plan will pay a gross income of 1.45% for that quarter. No income will be payable for a quarter if the Closing Level of the Index is below 85% of its Opening Level on the Quarterly Measurement Date. The first Quarterly Measurement Date will be on 1 March 2021, three months after the Start Date. Thereafter, the performance of the Index will be measured quarterly. If the kick-out condition is met (see below), income will be paid in respect of that quarter and the Plan will mature early. No further income payments will then be payable. Kick Out Condition From year 1, the Plan will kick-out, i.e. mature early, if the Closing Level of the Index is at least 5% above its Opening Level on any Quarterly Measurement Date. In this event you would receive a full return of your money, as well as the income due for that quarter. The first Quarterly Measurement Date on which an early maturity could be triggered will be on 29 November 2021, one year after the Start Date.

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 Meteor Plans are certainly worthy of consideration for inclusion within investment portfolios. Advice Simply get in touch if you wish to receive regulated advice in relation to the ‘suitability of the plans to meet your investment needs’. Warmest Regards. Best Price FS Team |
