Structured Deposits
The value of investments, and the income from them, can fall as well as rise, and you may not get back the full amount you invest.
A structured deposit provides exposure to financial markets with potential interest determined by the performance of the underlying market it tracks, for example the FTSE® 100 Index.
It also aims to return your initial deposit in full regardless of the performance of the underlying market as long as you hold your bond until to the end of the fixed term.
To find out more about your investment select the relevant option below. You can find the specific name of your bond in your product literature, however if you are unsure which deposit you hold or have lost your letter please get in touch.

Important Information
- An Index Bond can only be closed in exceptional circumstances (see Terms and Conditions for more information).If you close an Index Bond before the maturity date, you are unlikely to receive back the full amount originally invested. Partial withdrawals from the Index Bond are not permitted in any circumstances.
- Funds invested in the Index Bond are not invested directly into the shares of the underlying listed companies of the specified Index. Instead, your funds are held in a deposit account with RBS with interest at maturity linked to the performance of the Index. As you do not invest directly in shares, you will not receive any dividend payments.
- In the event of RBS being unable to meet its obligations (e.g. if it stops trading or becomes insolvent), you may lose some or all of your money. You may have recourse under the Financial Services Compensation Scheme
- Please be aware that the Index Bond is designed to return your initial Deposit, in full on the Maturity Payment Date only, as long as the Bond is held until maturity. Returns over and above this are dependent on the performance of the specified index. The cost of offering this protection is accounted for in the returns you receive, hence the fixed return even in the event of excessive growth in linked index.
- The value of the specified index can fall as well as rise, and past performance is not a guide to future performance.
- Inflation will reduce the buying power of your money.
- References to particular indices are included only to indicate the basis upon which growth is calculated, not to indicate any association between RBS and the third party index provider, or endorsement of the product by the index provider.
