Has anyone got thoughts or advice on the Newcastle 6 year ISA based on the FTSE, please?

TIA

    To get the maximum 7.46% AER return the FTSE has to rise by 4.5%+ in twelve consecutive six-month periods.

    Personally I wouldn't touch it (or indeed any GEB-type product) with a bargepole.

    Many thanks! I felt very uneasy about it, but they were continually quoting the 54% possible return!

    Since the issue of the half opened 4yr 4% ISA and their cancelling of it after encouraging me to fund it, I'm not overly impressed with Newcastle to say the least.
