Post office launches new Fiveyear Saver

The Post Office today announces the fifth issue of its Fiveyear Saver – a no risk, fixed-term deposit bond – which guarantees returns over a five year period with the benefit of further growth potential linked to the FTSE 100-Index.

The Fiveyear Saver offers a dual investment system, which is ideal for investors made cautious by the recent stock market jitters. As a result customers who take advantage of this great offer – which is open now and closes on 11 January 2008 – will see their money managed in two ways:

– Half of their deposit earns a very competitive 7.5 per cent gross/AER per annum for the five year fixed term period
– The other half benefits from a 50 per cent return on any increase in the FTSE-100 Index over the five year period. Customers’ original deposits are guaranteed should the FTSE-100 Index fall.

Post Office director of savings and investments Richard Norman said: “Although many investors are seeking to benefit from gains in the stock market, they also want a guarantee that they won’t lose their money. This is why we are pleased to announce the launch of a new five year savings bond – with an even better rate of interest.”

“Post Office Fiveyear Saver is a secure investment which gives a guaranteed return, while still offering the growth potential of the FTSE-100 Index. There is no risk of losing your original deposit and you can invest from just GBP 500.” The Post Office today announces the fifth issue of its Fiveyear Saver – a no risk, fixed-term deposit bond – which guarantees returns over a five year period with the benefit of further growth potential linked to the FTSE 100-Index.
