There is no pre-set interest rate on this investment. Your return will be based on the performance of the particular stock exchange or markets that it is invested in.

Index-linked products offer returns based on stock market index performance; equity-linked products offer returns based on the performance of individual stocks within an equity basket. These products are a good option for investors because, unlike mutual funds, there is no chance of a loss to the original investment.
