Best Guaranteed Equity Bonds?

Loaded_Bachelor

Hello there. I just took out the HSBC 115% GEB. I know it is effectively like paying for quite expensive downside protection and taxed at source with no potential CGT rebate, and doesn't get paid dividends but I am happy with it as a part of my portfolio. (I have used up my ISA entitilements and have my CGT allowances planned for other things). I genuinely think that you cannot rule out stock markets being between 2 and 4 times their current levels in 5 years time so I see these GEBs as a good punt, albeit at comparitively poor terms.

Does anyone know, or know of a source of a list of other GEB products that are currently being offered by other providers?

I already know about the Post Office and National Savings ones but wondered if there are any other decent ones. I am really looking for ones that pay at least 100% of index growth. I have seen on other threads Barclays, The Woolwich, Legal & General and Norwich Union all mentioned as having GEBs but can't find any details of these on their respective web sites.

Thanks.

Current best headline rate is Woolwich at 130% of FTSE100.

Many of these products are IFA only so you wont find them on the website.

i need some help with these protected products too as its ISA time again.
There is a ftse100 products by citigroup that pays 140% of rise over 6 years.

I am interested in Dawnay days commodities accelerator, does anyone know where I can get this with a good discount? as in initial charge rebate?

Commodities ... cripes !

Just as the dollar shows signs of embarking on a multi-year bull run .... The only commodities that will likely be higher in 2010 are the oils & gas.. the rest.... :rolleyes:
