Skandia autocall fund sets sights on returns of up to 42% over six years

Charges: Investors will be charged an establishment fee of 1.5 per cent by Royal Skandia, which is taken as a percentage of the investment fund.

Verdict: This investment offers some attractive returns in a period when confidence in the UK economy continues to surge. A lot, however, will depend on how the FTSE 100 performs on 23 June, which is the date from which all autocalls will be measured.
