This maximum ten-year and two-week plan features the potential to mature on any of the plan's anniversaries from year two onwards, provided that the FTSE CSDI closes at a level equal to, or higher than the Initial Index Level, returning the capital investment in full, plus a 9.25% gain for each year the plan has been in force. If the plan fails to mature early and the Final Index Level is below the Initial Index Level, no gain will be achieved; however, investors' capital should still be returned in full, unless the Final Index Level is more than 30% below the Initial Index Level. If such a fall does occur, the invested capital will be reduced by 1% for every 1% the Final Index Level is below the Initial Index Level. For example, if the plan fails to mature early and the Final Index Level is 35% below the Initial Index Level, investors' will suffer a 35% reduction to their invested capital. The FTSE CSDI was created specifically for structured products. It aims to closely replicate the performance of the same 100 companies, but after including the dividends – the equivalent to the FTSE 100 ‘total return’ index, from which, a constant annual dividend of 3.5% is deducted. The FTSE CSDI is very highly correlated to the FTSE 100 Index, and may therefore be expected to perform in a similar way to the FTSE 100 Index although, it would be expected to slightly underperform the latter if the total dividend yield transpires to be less than 3.5%.
Initial Index Level: The closing level of the Index on 23 August 2024.

Tax Treatment if held outside Tax Shelter: The product literature states that under current legislation any gain produced by this investment at redemption, where held outside of a tax wrapper, will be subject to Capital Gains Tax rules applicable at that time.
Please note, tax rules and legislation are subject to change at any time.

Explanation: If the investment fails to produce a gain, it still aims to return investors' capital in full at maturity, unless the Final Index Level is more than 30% below the Initial Index Level.

So, for every £100 invested, the return, provided the investment is held until maturity, should be £100, plus or minus the gain or loss in accordance with the defined terms. Separate fees may be payable to your adviser, platform or stockbroker for arranging this investment.

Lowes Financial Management, the Chartered Financial Planning and advisory firm behind StructuredProductReview.com and Lowes Structured Investment Centre, shares ‘Opinions’ on Preferred Plans with registered Professional Advisers accessing StructuredProductReview.com. Opinions are usually reached following an assessment of the Plan in question and other Plans available at the same time. Opinions and the award of Preferred Plan status are reached on balance. Plans may lose their 'Preferred' status if an alternative Plan becomes available which in the opinion of Lowes Financial Management has more attractive terms, on balance.
The launch of Lowes Structured Investment Centre, a trading style of Lowes Financial Management, introduces Plans to the market that are developed with the input of Lowes Financial Management / Lowes Structured Investment Centre, in co-operation with the sector’s issuers and providers. These product co-operations are designed to help extend product ranges across the sector, building on areas of strength and interest with each Sector Partner. Sector Partners must be members (or pending members) of the UK Structured Product Association (UKSPA). The product co-operations are designed and developed with the active input of Lowes Financial Management / Lowes Structured Investment Centre and on principle they must be good enough to meet Lowes Financial Management’s assessment as independent Professional Advisers for use with our own clients.
Opinion
This investment was conceived and developed with input from Lowes Financial Management. We feel that the 9.25% potential coupon, payable from year two onwards if the FTSE Custom 100 Synthetic 3.5% Fixed Dividend Index (FTSE CSDI) is at or above its starting level, coupled with the extended maximum term of ten years providing increased anniversary opportunities for the investment to successfully generate positive returns, makes this a compelling investment proposition. While it needs to be acknowledged that the barrier protection at 70% of initial index level is lower than many other products in the market, this needs to be considered in the context that it is only observed at the end of the ten years, which repositions the risk when comparing to a shorter term 5 or 6 year product, and only in the event that an earlier kick-out maturity was not triggered. On balance, we feel that this is a potentially appropriate investment for use in a diversified portfolio, for those who understand and accept the risks.
Lowes Financial Management Opinions should not be construed as advice or a recommendation to invest in a Plan or considered in isolation. Professional Advisers are responsible for determining suitability and / or appropriateness of any Plan for their clients and should conduct their own analysis and consider all Plans available in the market. Advisers should always ensure that they have read the full Plan literature carefully to satisfy themselves as to the terms, risks and suitability / appropriateness for their clients. If an Adviser has any doubts about the suitability and / or appropriateness of a Plan for their clients we suggest they contact someone with the requisite knowledge and expertise for input and assistance.
