A promise of protection
Article Abstract:
United Kingdom investors can choose two types of guaranteed investment products based on equities, guaranteed equity bonds and protected unit trusts. Bonds lock in investors for five years, with penalties for early withdrawal. Markets will usually rise in this period, so risks are low. Unit trusts limit gains as well as limiting risk, and guarantees tend to be restricted to capital, while charges can erode capital. Risk-averse investors such as those nearing retirement may prefer these products, despite their limitations.

Jupiter Income
Article Abstract:
Jupiter Income has William Littlewood as its fund manager and focuses on UK equity income investments.

The fund is appropriate for investors seeking growth or income who aim for exposure to British markets. The risk levels are those of products based on equities. Communication with investee firms is close to strengthen stock selection.
