Mariana Defensive kick out plan

Mariana Dual Index Defensive Kick Out Plan – August 2020

The Mariana Dual Index Defensive Kick Out Plan- August 2020 is a seven-year, two-week Plan based on the performance of the FTSE™ 100 Index and S&P 500® Index, the Underlying Assets. The Plan is constructed to offer a Potential Return of 8.35% for each year the Plan runs with the possibility of early maturity and the full repayment of Initial Capital from the first year and annually thereafter. The Potential Return is only payable if the Plan kicks out.

Should the Closing Price of both the Underlying Assets on an Observation Date be at or above the Kick Out Trigger Level, the Plan will mature early, repaying Investors’ Initial Capital plus the Potential Return multiplied by the number of years the Plan has run.

The Kick Out observations begin on 09 August 2021 and continue on an annual basis until the Plan’s Maturity Date.

If the Plan has not already kicked out, Initial Capital will be repaid in full at the end of the Plan’s term if on the Maturity Date (09 August 2027) the Closing Price of the worst performing Underlying Asset is not more than 35% below the Start Level.

If on the Maturity Date the Closing Price of the worst performing Underlying Asset is less than 65% of the Start Level (representing a decline of more than 35% from the Start Level), Investors’ Initial Capital will be lost at a rate of 1% for every 1% the Closing Price of the worst performing Underlying Asset is below the Start Level.

Morgan Stanley & Co. International plc, an affiliate of Morgan Stanley, is the issuer of the underlying investments that are purchased on Investors’ behalf. The investments are constructed to generate the terms described in the Brochure.

Don’t Forget the Risks

https://www.bestpricefs.co.uk/mariana-capital-structured-products/#risks

As with all forms of investment there are risks involved. 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.

Past performance is not a guide to future performance and may not be repeated.  Investment involves risk. The performance data does not take account of the commissions and costs incurred on the issue and redemption of shares. The value of investments and the income from them may go down as well as up and investors may not get back any of the amount originally invested. Because of this, an investor is not certain to make a profit on an investment and may lose money. Exchange rate changes may cause the value of overseas investments to rise or fall.

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 Mariana Plans are certainly worthy of consideration for inclusion within investment portfolios.
