Nationwide is aiming to help
investors with a new guaranteed
equity
bond promising improved terms.
Investors could see up to 70 per cent of any growth and anyone who
signs up to the deal before the end of September will receive a
maximum bonus of 0.85 per cent increase on their investment.
Nationwide’s
investments director Robin Bailey commented: People who
are wary about will find that guaranteed
equity bonds give them the best of both worlds - the benefit of
potential
stock market growth without putting their capital at
risk.
According to Mr Bailey, the stock market has been a good
place to be despite volatility of the past five years.
He added that investors are assured a ten per cent return on any
investment over the five-year term and so investors are
guaranteed returns that exceed their initial investment.
On Friday, manager of the
Indian Investment Company Sam Mahtani stated that India is
booming and that the outlook remains good for long-term investors.
He claimed India is now on an equal footing with China.
