The main problems with money on deposit with Banks

1. Interest rates on offer from the banks is at an all time low
2. DIRT Rates are at a all time high at 41% and DIRT is applicable every year unlike with life assurance saving funds where DIRT tax is only paid when you exit or draw down.

Zurich SuperCapp fund Versus Bank Deposit Account

The Zurich SuperCapp would offer a far better return than any Bank deposit account for the follows reason

1. SuperCapp funds pays out a dividend each year to investors, current dividend is 2%
   This dividend is paid tax free each year with no DIRT tax payable until drawdown
2. SuperCapp pays out a special dividend to investors after 5 years depending on the performance of the fund over the 5 years
3. No Investor has ever lost a penny or a cent
4. The fund has beaten inflation in every one of its 36 years

SuperCAPP fund has always delivered consistent positive stress free returns for customers

The SuperCAPP fund is only one fund available from Zurich. They offer a wide range of funds and in particular they offer 5 Multi Asset funds to suit your particular requirement. We would recommend the SuperCAPP fund to investors who wanted a low risk investment strategy and wanted to get a better return than currently on deposit with the banks.

This new saving plan from Zurich is a very exciting development for investors. With so much money sitting in deposit accounts and not earning any significant return and unlikely to do so for a number of years this saving plan offers better returns with no DIRT payable until draw down.
