Capital is at risk and returns are not guaranteed. This is a -month Bond and is not readily realisable.
Fixed term Bonds are not readily realisable and investors should expect to hold them for the full term.
When you are ready to invest:
1 Complete the account opening form on the Downing platform. This will include a declaration of what type of investor you are, and Downing will need to check you understand the risks.
2 View the bond offer document, paying particular attention to the fees and taxation.
3 Place your investment reservations.
4 Downing will then complete the necessary ID checks – they may need to ask you for further information at this stage for ID purposes.
These investments are exclusively available to members of the Downing crowd bond platform.
Key benefits of Downing Crowd Bonds
- Fixed rates of return.
- Terms of 1-3 years.
- Investments are secured against assets and cash flows.
Key Risks
- Your capital and interest is at risk. These are investment and not deposits and therefore not covered by the Financial Services Compensation Scheme.
- Investors are recommended to spread their funds across a number of investments.
- Investments are secured against assets and cash flows
- These bonds are transferable, but not listed and not readily realisable. Investors should therefore assume that they will need to hold the investment for the full term.
What happens when the full amount has been raised?
If the target of the bond or the tranche has been reached it will be closed for further investment. Investors then have a cooling off period of 14 days, during which Downing will complete the bond certificates and security agreement with the borrower on your behalf.
At the end of the 14 day cooling off period the funds will be transferred to the borrower and a digital copy of your bond certificate will be emailed to you and made available in your Downing account. From this point, your investment will start to earn interest.
Over the term of the investment, Downing will provide you with updates on your interest payments.
At any time, you can log in to your Downing account and see a record of your investments and also review new offers as they become available.
How do Downing charge?
Downing ensures to the best of its ability that all information is provided upfront. You can be confident of no hidden charges. Borrowers pay Downing a fee for the origination of the deal and carrying out the due diligence, risk assessment and the preparation of the documentation.
Downing receive an annual monitoring fee that is contingent on investors having been credited with the capital and interest in full on repayment of the bond.
Transfers carry an administration fee if £25. This fee is not charged where the bond holder is deceased.
All fees are exclusive of VAT where applicable.
