so you give them your money, they pocket 35% of the growth and all the dividends - sounds terrible0

Sounds worse than most of this type - what's the guarantee?0

I myself am not interested in this kind of product, but I believe there are some that offer 100% of an index's growth.".....where it is corrupt, purge it....."0 -
This is appalling. Have ING totally lost the plot?0

I'm sure I have seen an account that offered 110% growth of the FTSE-100 before but couldn't remember where it was again.Had £80,000 in Savings - All GONE!!! BYE BYE:A Single, 27, Aspie, Gooner :A0

Maybe they're gearing up for a new slogan:
One great wait for f all...
Think it was either post Office or NS&I who had over 100% of FTSE gains (possibly a 5 year deal).0 -
NS&I offered a guaranteed equity bond at 120% of FTSE growth over 5 years. Compared to that this deal sounds very poor.0

To be fair, as much as I have been disappointed with the ING savings products which I have had for a while - this guaranteed investment isn't so bad.
The post office offer (over 5 years) is only 50% of any increase in value - compared to 65% with ING. Also you can get out early every 6 months and you can take only 10% of any increase by that time - so could always get to your money in emergency.
The NS&I guarantted bond is not currently in issue, although you can register for when it is next in issue.
So is this ING guaranteed investment really so bad?0 -

yes - most GIBs provide poor returns for investors, and great no risk profits for banks0
