    my understadning of this investmnt is you lock your money away for 5 years

    You get set 7.45%pa for each of the 5 years AND because its investeted in a share index you have the potential of getting up to 10% for each of the 5 years. …(or I might be wrong)

    But your going to need a spare $20K

    My understanding of 'unsecured' notes:

    Basically means you are lending them money, and they will pay interest, and eventually return your money, BUT if they fail to pay (go bust etc) you have very little rights to get your money back. their debt to you is unsecured… i.e. you have no rights to any of their assets. you will be last on the list of debtees if the liquidators are called in. according to investopedia unsecured debt it the most risky kind.

    so to me 7.45%-10% is nowhere near enough interest for this type of investment, especially considering your money is locked in for 5 years! dont forget interest rates will probably go higher over the next few years, and there is a good chance stock market will sink. locking yourself in to 7.5% may not be the best idea.

    NB: i am not a qualified financial adviser so none of what i say should have any attention paid to it!

    Yeah, I agree with jtu100. I am no expert either, but unsecured, with interest rate on the rise, and they can only guarantee you 7.45%, with fixed term of 5 years(that's a really long time for small investors), this sounds like a bad deal. Even if you only put it in Bankwest saver, I am not sure if you won't get return similar to that at the end of 5 years.
