Tracker Bonds
Tracker bonds give investors access to the potentially higher returns that stock markets provide but without the risks normally associated with similar investments.
A Tracker Bond is a fixed term investment generally over three to six years. Most trackers offer capital protection that investors will get some or all of their money back at the end of the investment. Some trackers offer an option where you can choose to get a lower percentage of your money back (for example 90%), but this offers you the potential of higher returns. The return you can achieve on top of that is usually based on the performance of some stock market index or mix of indices
You can choose an investment time frame between 3 and 6 years to suit your particular requirements. Because you have no access to your funds, you need to be certain that the investment time frame meets your needs.
Tracker Bonds may suit you if you:
Are prepared to invest a lump sum for a set time frame without access to immediate withdrawal of your money
Want to protect all or most of your investment; and
Are happy to settle for potentially lower returns than you could achieve by investing without capital protection.
