Agricultural Commodity Return Bond

August 2007

A protected Bond based on the Goldman Sachs Agricultural Sub Index Excess Return.

The Agricultural Commodity Return Bond, in association with Barclays combines the security of a global bank with the growth potential of the Index. This Index is based on 11 soft commodities such as wheat, corn, cattle, soybeans and cotton. The bond provides a return equal to 120% of the average growth of the Index. The investment is available to invest as part of your Self Invested Personal Pension (SIPP) or Small Self Administered Scheme (SSAS), for personal investment, and you also have the option to use your ISA allowance with our maxi or mini ISA versions. The account's capital protection means you will not lose your initial investment, whatever happens to the Index. The Index was launched in 1991 to provide a benchmark for commodities and currently has an estimated $60 billion of investment linked to its performance. Historically, commodity cycles have shown to last longer than equities and bonds, hence the five year bond structure.
