Barclays Bank Plc is covered by the Financial Services Compensation Scheme (FSCS) – the UK’s deposit guarantee scheme. Your eligible deposits with Barclays Bank Plc are protected up to a total of £85,000 by the FSCS who can pay compensation to depositors if a bank is unable to meet its financial obligations. This limit, which applies to each individual depositor, applies to the aggregated amount of all deposits you may have with Barclays Bank Plc. This means that all eligible deposits at Barclays Bank Plc are added up in order to determine the coverage level. If your total deposits with Barclays Bank plc exceed £85,000 you would ordinarily only be covered up to £85,000. Please note that Barclays Bank Plc and Barclays Bank UK Plc are separate banks for the purposes of the FSCS, this means that they have separate £85,000 limits for eligible deposits. More information on the structure of the Barclays Group and the two banks is available at https:// home.barclays/who-we-are/ring-fencing-explained/ and information on the scheme is available from the FSCS at www.fscs.org.uk or by emailing ICT@fscs.org.uk.

IMPORTANT: The credit rating of Barclays Bank plc is subject to change during both the offer period and the Investment term. Any information on credit ratings of the Deposit Taker provided in the Brochure is correct at the time of publication. The credit ratings assigned to the Deposit Taker can change at any time without notice

Don’t Forget the Risks

Causeway Securities S&P 500 Kick-Out Deposit Plan December 2022

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 liquidity or counterparty over exposure.

At the Best Price FS price point the Causeway Securities Plans are certainly worthy of consideration for inclusion within investment portfolios.

Warmest Regards.
