Bank Of Ireland IOM Launches Index-Linked Anniversary Bond
by Phillip Morton, Investors Offshore.com

16 August 2006

A Bond that offers growth potential linked to the performance of 4 global stock markets, and the opportunity for early maturity has been launched by Bank of Ireland IOM.

Bank of Ireland (IOM) Limited opened its doors on the Isle of Man in 1981, and the new Silver Anniversary Bond, launched in August 2006, marks the bank's 25th year on the island.

The bank is now recognised as the headquarters for Bank of Ireland UK Offshore Operations and the company also includes Bristol and West International, based in Guernsey.

The 5 year fixed term deposit bond is capital guaranteed and growth potential is linked to a percentage of the performance of 4 major global stock market indices (FTSE 100, Nikkei 225, DJ Euro Stoxx50 and the S&P 500), adjusted by an averaging method at the end of the fixed 5 year investment term.

An early maturity feature will return 25% to investors on top of their initial investment if the 4 indices selected grow by 20% or more after two-and-a-half years.

The bond has a minimum investment level of GBP5,000 and maximum amount of GBP1million.

The limited offer has a closing date 29th September 2006, and may close early if over-subscribed.
