National Savings offers the security of a bond product with the potential of higher investment returns of the stock market. You can invest from £1,000.
Their guaranteed Equity Bond means future returns are linked to growth in the FTSE 100 - a collection of the UK's biggest 100 companies - though the original lump sum you invest is still 100 percent safe.
As with other National Savings products, the investments are backed by HM Treasury.
Any growth - with a pre-set minimum - will be paid out after five years and even if the stock market should fall in that time, National Savings will hand you back your cash at the least or with pre-agreed rate of guaranteed interest.
