Guaranteed Capital & Capital Income Plan 2026 III (EURO) and Plan 2027 (GBP)

Following the success of previous tranches in 2023, Bank of Valletta is offering MAPFRE MSV Life's two new Guaranteed Capital & Income Plans: Guaranteed Capital & Income Plan 2026 III and Guaranteed Capital & Income Plan GBP 2027. The Bank's customers have the opportunity to apply for these two offers which will only be available for a limited time. In addition to the Capital Guaranteed and Income Plan denominated in EURO, customers can also apply for the Plan in GBP. Applications are being received at all BOV Branches, Investment Centres as well as the Bank's Private Banking at the BOV Premier Centre in Santa Venera.

Speaking on the launch of these Plans, Ms Tonia Parascandalo from the Bank's Insurance Services & Pensions within the Wealth Management arm explained how these products follow on the success of the three editions of the Guaranteed Capital & Income Plans launched during 2023 by MAPFRE MSV Life.

"These products are based on our knowledge of the local investor and are specifically targeted at those customers that are looking for a product that offers a guaranteed capital and income repayment, should the investment be held until its maturity. This time round MAPFRE MSV Life is also offering a Plan denominated in GBP as well, in response to feedback received from our customers last year. Furthermore, we are also once again involving our experts at BOV Asset Management who are responsible for managing the underlying fund."

Ms Parascandalo also explained how the Bank's team of financial advisors at Investment Centres or Private Banking is available to discuss the different options available with customers and help the individual find the best solutions that address the particular circumstances and life stage. As circumstances change, one would be able to make adjustments so that the financial products owned address the specific circumstances of the individual at that point in time. "Our colleagues within our Branches, Investment Centres and Private Banking, are happy to support customers in managing their wealth more effectively, as an integral part of their financial well-being."
