It’s not often that we split a product suite launch from a provider into separate emails, but the new launch from Tempo, unveiled today, deserves special attention. Email 2 of 3 … Question: How do you turn future market growth of just 1% per year into a 15% or 25% per year return for investors, and more than double your investment over 5 – 10 years, by legally binding contract? Answer: Consider firing your active fund manager and hiring, i.e. investing in, the Tempo Long Growth & Kick-Out Plan!! Please read on for full details of this exceptional plan …
The separate emails provide details for: > The popular Tempo Long Kick-Out Plan > The relaunch of the ground-breaking Tempo Long Income Plan You can find a summary of the plan and links to the full details below, including details of comparable products and our analysis of the potential returns … Of course, and as always, please see the full plan literature for full details of these plans and the features, terms and conditions, including the risks. PLEASE NOTE: the offer period for the Long Growth & Kick-Out Plan runs until Friday 12 June (unless it closes early). It may well close early in the current market environment. Please contact us swiftly if investing is of interest.
Tempo’s Long Growth & Kick Out Plan (counterparty Société Générale) is the only product of its kind in the market, combining a kick-out strategy at year 5 with a defensive ‘super tracker’ at year 10, in a ‘2 in 1’ strategy plan, which offers exceptional growth potential. The potential returns are:
This plan really is exceptional … simply put, we can’t think of any other investment fund or product more likely to deliver such strong double digit, compound returns, with a defensive risk / return profile, than this unique and innovative plan. The potential kick-out return of 125% at Y5, which will be achieved if the FTSE 100 FDEW is 5% higher than the start level, is equivalent to 25% p.a. simple or 17.61% p.a. compound, while the maximum growth return of 150% at Y10, which will be achieved if the FTSE 100 FDEW is 10% higher than the start level, is equivalent to 15% p.a. simple or 9.60% p.a. compound. Both strategies offer the potential for exceptional returns from a market rise of just 1% per year, at either year 5 or year 10: in other words, ‘alpha by contract’, in ways which neither active nor passive mutual funds can offer. So, re the question: How do you turn future market growth of just 1% per year into a 15% or 25% per year return for investors, and more than double your investment over 5 – 10 years, by legally binding contract? Answer: Fire your active fund manager and invest in the Tempo Long Growth & Kick-Out Plan!!
The following section provides brief details of other currently available products and our analysis of the potential returns on offer currently (as at 12.05.20): ‘AT OR ABOVE START LEVEL’ KICK-OUT PRODUCTS There are currently 14 kick-out products which require the index to be at or above the start level (or which have a higher condition, which requires the index to have risen) including Tempo’s LKO3. > Tempo’s LKO3 offers 17.75% pa, with an at or above start level condition throughout the investment term. > Re comparable* ‘at or above’ products, the average return of the 12 other products is just 9.81%. However, notably, all of those products have higher (i.e. worse) end of term barriers. Only three providers with plans at or above start level have a 60% end of term barrier. > But Tempo’s LGKO Plan offers a potential kick-out return of 125.00% at year 5, which is equivalent to 25% p.a. (which is more than all at or above start level condition kick-out plans available – including Tempo’s own LKO Plan!). And the plan also includes the 2ndstrategy, offering a maximum potential return at year 10 of 150% (plus capital). *Comparisons to other products is based on analysis of all products in the market as at 12.05.20, using FVC research reports, comparing potential returns and product features. It should be noted that the Tempo plans use an equal weight, fixed dividend version of the FTSE 100, known as the FTSE 100 FDEW. This was developed by FTSE Russell specifically with the aim of helping investment banks produce better terms on structured products. However, it should be noted that the FTSE 100 FDEW will perform differently to the FTSE 100, due to the equal weighting and the fixed dividend approach. This means that the returns from plans linked to it might be higher or lower than the returns from a similar product linked to the FTSE 100. Please also see the section below with further important information regarding the FTSE 100 FDEW.
As we recently highlighted, Tempo’s plans all come with the fabulous Tempo pledge: ‘Stated terms or better‘. This unique feature allows Tempo to increase the terms of a plan above those stated in brochures, if the stock market and other factors during an offer period mean that they can do so. For example, while the Long Kick-Out Plan brochure details option 3 as offering 17.75% pa, if stock market movement and other factors mean that we can increase this further during the offer period, the actual terms may be increased to, say, 19.00% pa, which would be confirmed following the start date. Last time around, 13.1% pa was the coupon stated in the brochure, for LKO3, but it became 20.4% pa during the offer period! What’s not to love about this great feature, which only Tempo offers!
As we’ve explained previously, Tempo have drawn on strong team knowledge of indexation and a research-based approach to index selection, with their plans using an equal weight, fixed dividend version of the FTSE 100, known as the FTSE 100 FDEW. The FTSE 100 FDEW was developed by FTSE Russell specifically with the aim of helping investment banks offer improved terms (in other words, higher potential returns or lower risks) on structured products. Société Générale have an exclusive license with FTSE Russell to use the FTSE 100 FDEW. And Tempo have agreed exclusivity to use the index in their plans with Société Générale While the fixed dividend approach can help provide higher potential returns or lower risks for structured products, it can affect the level of the FTSE 100 FDEW negatively, when the fixed dividend is higher than the level of dividends being paid by companies in the index. Particularly following recent stock market falls, it is important to carefully consider the current level of the FTSE 100 FDEW and the level of its fixed dividend. The FTSE 100 FDEW will perform differently to the FTSE 100, due to the equal weighting and fixed dividend approach. This means that the returns from plans linked to it might be higher or lower than the returns from similar products linked to the FTSE 100. Importantly, Tempo have identified the target market for investors in issue 13 as investors who have a positive view of the future level of the FTSE 100 FDEW, over the medium to long term. Information about the FTSE 100 FDEW can be found in the plan brochures.
Tempo’s products are described as ‘deliberately defensive’, meaning that they are all designed so that they can generate some or all of their returns without requiring the market index which they are linked to to rise, with a defined level of protection should the market index fall. Tempo’s products benefit from the firm’s operational strength and rigorous approach to governance, are backed by strong issuers / counterparties, and are based on a single index, with a deep end-of-term barrier. These are the Tempo hallmarks: deliberately defensive structured products. We think this approach has real merits and can add real value for investors in balanced and diversified portfolios, in the current market environment.
