Charities have just one month left to take advantage of a new account which offers
investors the prospect of stock market linked returns without the usual risk to 
capital.

 

Offered by CAF (Charities Aid Foundation) and Bristol & West Structured Products,
the CAF Guaranteed Equity Account is a five year, fixed term account exclusively
for charities. It combines the opportunity to share in the potential growth of four
major stock market indices, with capital security offered by the Bristol & West 
Capital Guarantee, and a 15% guaranteed minimum return.

Interest is paid gross and charities will receive the greater of either 70% of the
average growth of the Financial Time’s Stock Exchange 100 Index (FTSE 100), the 
Nikkei 225, the Swiss Market Index (SMI) and the Standard & Poors 500 (S&P 500),
or the minimum guaranteed return of 15%.

 

According to Ron Green, Senior Manager at CAF Financial Services: “Many charities
are reluctant to invest capital in the stock market because of the associated risk,
but with the CAF Guaranteed Equity Account the risk of capital loss is removed. 
This opportunity is only available until 30 April and so charities should not risk
missing out by leaving their applications to the last minute.”
