Barclays Wealth re-issues regular income and super tracker
Barclays Wealth has reissued its regular income bond and super tracker products aimed at investors willing to accept an element of risk to their capital.
The range includes the Barclays Wealth six-year regular income bond.
This product is linked to the FTSE 100 and offers an annual income of 6 per cent or a monthly income of 0.4875 per cent.
However, investors' capital will be at risk if at any time during the term the FTSE falls by 50 per cent and remains lower than its starting level at maturity.
If this does occur, capital will be lost on a 1:1 basis.
Barclays Wealth has also reissued its super tracker product which offers a five- and three-year option for investors.
The five-year option offers four times the first 16 per cent rise in the FTSE 100 up to a maximum of 64 per cent.
Meanwhile, the three-year option offers investors two times the first 15 per cent rise in the FTSE up to a maximum of 30 per cent.
In both cases, investors' capital will be at risk if at any time during the term the FTSE falls by 50 per cent and remains lower than its starting level at maturity.
Again if this occurs, capital is lost on a 1:1 basis.
Lisa Chaudhuri, vice president of Barclays Wealth, said: "With many still doubting the strength of the recovery, investors are looking for attractive returns in potentially low growth markets - either in the form of fixed income, as with the regular income bond, or through products that offer returns for small rises in the FTSE, as with the super trackers.
"The potential of getting capital fully returned at maturity providing the FTSE has not suffered a significant fall is also an attractive prospect for investors."
