With current market volatility and uncertainty over interest rates, the latest issue in the popular Optimum Growth Bond series offers your clients excellent potential returns with the chance to exceed stock market growth, with no risk to their capital.

The bond is linked to the UK stock market and offers two opportunities for early maturity after 3 and 5 years, enabling clients to benefit from strong market performance during the investment term. If the bond does not kick-out early, it will run for its full 6 year term giving your clients a return equal to 150% FTSE® growth.

There is no risk to the initial investment, which will be returned in full on maturity no matter what happens to the stock market during the investment term. If the FTSE® falls, no return will be paid and the effect of inflation may impact on the value of their investment.

• 150% of FTSE® growth over 6 years if the bond runs for its full term (averaged over the final 12 months).
