Structured Deposit ISAs

Structured deposit ISAs are structured deposit plans suitable for ISA investments. A structured deposit plan is a type of structured investment that offers capital protection similar to a savings account. Structured deposit ISAs can offer competitive returns, often linked to the performance of a stock market index, while protecting the initial capital invested.

Capital is returned normally if no withdrawals are made until the plan matures, and providing the bank or other institution acting as counterparty to the plan is able to meet its liabilities. See the table below for examples of structured deposit ISAs available through Fair Investment:
