Investors wishing to maximise their returns from the stock market might be interested in a new product from Barclays Stockbrokers .
The FTSE 100 Accelerated Returns Investment Note Issue 5 offers returns of three times the rise in the FTSE 100 over five years, up to a maximum return of 75 per cent.
However, if the index falls below 50 per cent of its original price and stays below the starting level, then investors will see a loss.
Barbara-Ann King, head of investments at Barclays Stockbrokers, believes people will be rewarded for taking a risk with their investments.
She said: "The UK stock market is less volatile than it was during 2009, and so investors are having to work hard to generate positive returns.
"This structured product is one of a series of topical investment products and ideas that Barclays Stockbrokers offers to clients to allow them to make the most of market conditions."
Barclays recently reissued the Regular Income Bond and Super Tracker, products that are also linked to the FTSE 100.
