Protected investment productsProtected investment productsProtected Investment Products, or 'PIPs' are designed to give you a guaranteed return on your investment but at the same time to give you the opportunity to benefit from rises in the stock market. The 'protected' return might, for instance, be 4.5% per year fixed for 5 years. Even if the product's underlying index performs badly, you will receive that return. If the index performs better than the minimum return, you get a bonus payment at the end of the period. The PIPs offered by financial institutions vary according to the level of protected return, the underlying index, the terms of the bonus, and the duration of the investment. Some aim for 'safety first'; others are geared towards greater upside. In general, though, they will appeal to medium term investor who want to avoid being completely exposed to the gyrations of the stock market.
