Save and Invest |
|
The
stock market offers great potential growth for your savings, however
there are risks. The stock market can go up and, unfortunately down,
which could mean losing all or part of your original investment. However
the Guaranteed Equity Bond from The Post Office is different, the
Guaranteed Equity Bond is a Fixed Term deposit account that gives you
the chance to benefit from a percentage of the growth potential linked
to the performance of the FTSE 100 index, whilst your original deposit
remains secure.
The Guaranteed Equity Bond is provided on behalf of the Bank of Ireland.
Anyone aged 18 or over and resident or ordinarily resident in the UK,
either individually or jointly with one other person can invest.
The Guaranteed Equity Bond will not be suitable for everyone; here is a
checklist to help you to decide if Guaranteed Equity Bonds are right for
you.
Its right
for me if I:
want to share in any FTSE 100 growth over 3 or 5 years
am looking for stock market linked growth potential
want to know that my original investment is secure
have a minimum lump sum of £500 to invest
I wont need to touch my investment for 3 to 5 years (remember, you may
need some spare cash for emergencies).
It is
wrong for me if I:
like to top up my savings regularly
want regular income from my money
may need to get to my money during the 3 or 5 year period
havent any spare cash for unexpected emergencies
want a guaranteed rate of return
When
it comes to savings it is hard to decide whether or not to keep them in
a normal savings account where they may be safe but the interest may be
low. Or to potentially get a good rate of return, you could put your
money at risk in investments that may go up or down. With a Growth Bond
from the Post Office, your money is safe and secure and you are earning
from the interest, they offer fixed rates, with fixed terms for great
returns! The Post Office Growth Bond is a fixed term, fixed rate deposit
account which is provided by the Bank of Ireland.
Customers can invest from £500- £1, 000, 000, then you decide how long
you would like to invest, one year, three years or five years. The rate
never does down, therefore you know exactly how much money your savings
will earn.
The Post Office Growth Bonds may not suit everyone.

Bonds are right for me if I:
want guaranteed growth

Growth
Bonds are not right for me if I:
