A promise of protection

Article Abstract:

United Kingdom investors can choose two types of guaranteed investment products based on equities, guaranteed equity bonds and protected unit trusts. Bonds lock in investors for five years, with penalties for early withdrawal. Markets will usually rise in this period, so risks are low. Unit trusts limit gains as well as limiting risk, and guarantees tend to be restricted to capital, while charges can erode capital. Risk-averse investors such as those nearing retirement may prefer these products, despite their limitations.
