Before choosing a type of fixed term investment, it is a good idea to find out what they involve. For instance, some plans have conditions about how much money can be invested in a certain period of time and if you withdraw your money before the account has reached maturity you could lose some of your investment.
Benefits of fixed term investments include:
- Clearly defined terms, usually of 5 or 6 years
- Some protection of capital depending which plan you chose
- Higher potential returns
