Jubilee unveils inflation-linked duo

Jubilee Financial Products has launched the Inflation Deposit and the Inflation Plus plans to help investors protect their capital from the ravages of inflation, as measured by the Retail Prices Index (RPI).

The former plan is capital protected and, as a deposit, has the additional security afforded to bank deposits. Meanwhile, the Inflation Plus plan offers 1.65 times the rise in RPI in return for placing capital at risk to the performance of the FTSE 100 index.

Chris Powell, head of IFA sales, said: “Jubilee realised that investors had a growing appreciation for the effects of inflation more than a year ago and we have since offered several inflation linked products designed to provide investors with a real return. 

“Our previous products proved very popular with long-term investors, for whom maintaining the real value of capital and income is paramount. It has, therefore, not been a surprise to me that we have seen a significant increase in interest for inflation hedging products, particularly amongst pension funds, SIPP/SSAS and those in or nearing retirement.”
