Hi guys,

Does anybody know what type of safe, long-term investment that would pay around from 6%-10% annually dividend/interest?

Thanks for all/any help.

A savings account - but you'll be hard pushed to find one offering that high a rate!

Thanks Brian for your quick answer. I just edited my question because I found the previous one was pretty ambiguous.

depends on the amount and your risk profile as well as the term, there are banks and accounts as well as opportunities which pay in that range easy, for example:

Deutsche Bank Resource Alpha Note DE000DB0WK72 (GBP), DE000DB0WK64 (USD)

or

Nomura 14.5% USD Autocall Note on FTSE 100 & S&P 500. The Nomura Autocall note is an exceptional flexible proposition, providing the potential of 14.5% growth per annum from two of the world's major Stock Markets. This growth is paid out either at the second anniversary if both stock market indices show positive performance or at the end of years 3, 4 or 5 if the indices show positive performance on any one of these anniversaries. Even if the markets are down at the end of the 5 years, the product will still pay a generous coupon of 10% at maturity providing the markets are down by no more than 50%. This coupon is in addition to the full return of the initial investment. The early exit features of this product could be of particularly interest to those clients looking for shorter term investments.
The basket comprises two major equity indices:
S&P 500 SPX Index
FTSE 100 UKX Index
At annual intervals from year two onwards, the notes may redeem automatically. If there is no automatic redemption, capital repayment depends on the performance of the two indices over the 5 year term.


Key Advantages:

• 14.5% coupon US$ & Euro, 13.5% Coupon GBP. Both paid after 2 years if indexes are above their starting levels with early maturity
• If not above starting levels, product rolls to years 3, 4 and then 5, paying an additional 14.5% p.a / 13.5% p.a and early maturity at each anniversary
• 50% protection barrier
• 5 Year maturity with minimum 100% capital return if both indexes are above 50% of their starting level at maturity
• Additional 10% bonus on maturity, if 50% protection barrier not breached at any time during investment term
• Available in GBP and US$ and Euro
• Investment linked to S&P 500 and FTSE 100 Indices

Thats just examples because frankly those are not for everyone, there are also some smaller investment bans who will give you for savings account like structures in Switzerland 7% p.a. etc

Take care and do your homework diligently
