New investment bonds launched by Abbey

Wed, 01 Aug 2007

Abbey has launched four capital guaranteed bonds linked to equities in the UK, US, Hong Kong and Japan which could interest those hoping to make shrewd investments.

The bonds will fit into "tax wrappers" provided by individual savings accounts, pension arrangements and offshore bonds.

All the bonds offer capital guarantee and are five year investment plans with customers required to make a minimum investment into the bonds of £3,000.

Head of intermediary business development at Abbey Financial Markets Gary Dale spoke of a movement away from traditional asset classes to more esoteric markets.

"There is also a keen interest re-emerging in the US markets and the added protection provided by capital guarantees creates additional interest and momentum to clients looking to invest more globally," he added.

Abbey has stated that the investment bonds have been designed to meet client needs or coincide with the maturity of existing client investments.

In other news today, savings account holders were warned by Moneysupermarket.com that some savings providers are too slow at passing the benefits of a base rate change onto customers.
