GlobalCapital is offering the Capella Income Note, a five-year guaranteed investment product issued by Societe Generale in Sterling. The product guarantees an annual income of two per cent, which could potentially increase to a maximum of 12 per cent per annum, according to the performance of the DJ Stoxx 50 Index measured on a monthly basis. The Capella Income Note also offers investors 100 per cent capital guarantee at maturity.

“International financial markets have gone through a tough period which has affected all the European markets. Although markets are yet to regain their previous performance level exhibited over the years, we are seeing the first signs of recovery when compared to last year’s results. These current valuations are viewed as an attractive entry-point for investment in European equities and for this reason we are introducing the Capella Income Note at this point,” said chief executive officer Nicholas Portelli.

Due to the initial growth of the international markets, all investors in the Capella Income Note can profit from this potential rebound in European equity markets through the DJ Stoxx 50 Index. The product’s performance mechanism taking place on a monthly basis can also help increase profits by taking advantage of short-term trends through the Annual Coupon.

“This product offers all clients a secure product through its 100 per cent capital protection on maturity. The Capella Income Note also guarantees an annual return on investment and a guarantee on capital invested with a potentially higher annual income, depending on the monthly performance of the DJ Stoxx 50. This is an ideal way to protect funds denominated in Sterling while at the same time participating in the performance of the markets, ” Mr Portelli added.
