Abbey has announced the launch of its latest Guaranteed Growth Plan investment option.
The plan guarantees to return the original investment, if left untouched for the full term - five and a half years.
Furthermore, a guaranteed growth of 21 per cent will be returned when the investment matures, although this could potentially rise to a maximum of 55 per cent.
The investment, which carries a minimum of £1,500, is linked to the performance of the FTSE 100, with growth in the equities market reflected in the returns received.
Pak Chan, head of investments marketing at Abbey, commented: "Abbey research has shown that investors who are cautious of investing in the stock market are attracted by the possibility of protecting their capital .
"The Abbey Guaranteed Growth Plan aims to address this by guaranteeing to protect people's initial investment and also give them a guaranteed minimum return if held to maturity."
Abbey offers a range of financial services for UK investors, including options which are designed to provide growth and regular income .
