Close Consortium Schedule of Interest Rates

Consortium’s flexible framework is complimented by a choice of fixed or tiered interest rate structures. In both cases, the actual rate structure offered will depend upon the total balances of all accounts maintained by each introducer within the Consortium arrangement. This is known as the Group Balance Value. The Consortium Fixing Rate (“CFR”) is the 1 week fixed LIBOR rate as calculated and published by the British Bankers Association each Tuesday, but rounded down to two decimal places.

Interest is paid gross without the deduction of tax. Rates are subject to change without notice.

Consortium Flat Interest Rates

Under the flat interest rate option, all accounts within the Consortium arrangement, irrespective of individual account balance, will receive the same interest rate. This interest rate is calculated on the total Group Balance Value. Where the margin is greater than the CFR a negative rate will not be applied.
