Guarantees take flight
Your support helps us to tell the story
From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.
At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.
The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.
Your support makes all the difference.COMPANIES offering guaranteed income and growth bonds have been pulling out of the market temporarily as rates come down. The market is unlikely to settle down for a few more days.
The M&G Bond is a growth bond so there is no income paid out during the five-year period. The income is reinvested to produce a larger capital sum at the end. Cornhill Life has a five-year income bond paying out 7.5 per cent on a minimum of pounds 1,000.
Vernon Building Society is the highest rate on a variable rate Tessa with no transfer penalties. Allied Trust Bank is still offering 12.68 per cent but the minimum investment is pounds 9,000 up front.
Chelsea Building Society has relaunched its Premier Account (4th Issue) - an account that provides high interest rates but heavily penalises borrowers who remove funds in the first two years. Deposits of pounds 10,000 attract a fixed gross rate of 11.75 per cent (net 8.81 per cent) until 1 February 1993.
