Summaries are made up of disclosure requirements known as 'Elements'. These elements are numbered in Sections A – E (A.1 – E.7). This summary contains all the Elements required to be included in a summary for this type of securities and issuer. Because some Elements are not required to be addressed, there may be gaps in the numbering sequence of the Elements. Even though an Element may be required to be inserted in the summary because of the type of securities and issuer, it is possible that no relevant information can be given regarding the Element. In this case a short description of the Element is included in the summary with the mention of 'not applicable'.

have tabled the summary including any translation thereof, but only if the

the other parts of the prospectus or it does not provide, when read together
with the other parts of the prospectus, key information in order to aid

insufficiency of
working capital
Not applicable; the Company is of the opinion that its working capital is
sufficient for its present requirements, that is, the next 12 months from the

B.34 Investment
objective and
policy including
investment
restrictions
The investment objective of the Company, acting in respect of the Cell, is
to provide a return to Shareholders of each Share Class equal to the
Investment Return, such return will depend upon the performance of the
Index. In order to be able to pay the Investment Return on the Maturity
Date, the Company, acting in respect of the Cell, will invest the Proceeds
(less certain costs payable by the Company) in the Investment Product, a
financial contract with the Investment Provider (Castle Trust Capital plc).
The Investment Product is an obligation on the Cell to advance the
Proceeds (less certain costs payable by the Company) to the Investment
Provider and in return the Investment Provider is obliged to pay an amount
equal to the Investment Return on the maturity of the Shares.
There is no guarantee that the investment objective will be achieved.
The Company, acting in respect of the Cell, will only invest the Proceeds in
the Investment Product.
B.35 Borrowing limits There are no borrowing or leverage limits for the Company or the Cell.
B.36 Regulatory status The Company and the Cell are an unregulated exchange-traded fund
registered in Jersey. The JFSC is the regulator in Jersey but does not
regulate the Company and the Cell.
B.37 Typical investor The Shares have been designed to provide an investment opportunity for
retail investors and institutional investors.
B.38 More than 20% of
assets exposed to
creditworthiness
of any one
counterparty
More than 20% of the assets of the Company, being the assets of the Cell,
are exposed to the creditworthiness or solvency of a single counterparty
because the Company, acting in respect of the Cell, invests all of the
Proceeds in a financial contract with Castle Trust, being the Investment
Provider (the "Investment Product"). Under the Investment Product, the
Company, acting in respect of the Cell, will pay to the Investment Provider
during the Offer Period (and thereafter) as and when the subscription
proceeds for the Shares of the relevant Share Class are received an
amount equal to the Proceeds (less certain costs payable by the
Company). On the Maturity Date, the Investment Provider will pay to the
Company, acting in respect of the Cell, in respect of the relevant Share
Class an amount equal to the total aggregate Investment Return in respect
of those Shares reaching their Maturity Date.
The Investment Provider will not provide collateral to meet its obligations
under the Investment Product and the Investment Product shall therefore
be unsecured.
The Company, acting in respect of the Cell, will only be able to pay the
Investment Return on the maturity of the Shares if the Investment Provider
has fulfilled its obligations under the Investment Product and therefore the
financial viability of the Company, acting in respect of the Cell, in respect of
paying the Investment Return depends on the financial viability of Castle
Trust.
Castle Trust
Castle Trust is a regulated investment firm operating in the UK. Castle
Trust, which was incorporated in England in 2010, operates predominantly
from its head office in London and had 20 permanent employees as at 31
August 2013.
Castle Trust provides shared equity ("Partnership
Mortgages" and "Buy To Let Mortgages") to UK customers.
A Partnership Mortgage can be used for the purchase of a new home or
the refinancing of an existing home.
A Partnership Mortgage for a purchase is a loan for 20% of the purchase
price of a home, advanced to good credit quality owner occupiers buying a
home with a deposit of at least 10% of the purchase price, alongside a
capital and interest mortgage of up to 70% of the purchase price from a
traditional lender.
There are no regular payment obligations on a
Partnership Mortgage and, on sale of the property or at the end of the
term, the borrower repays Castle Trust the loan plus 40% of any increase
in value of the home or less 20% of any decrease in value.
A Partnership Mortgage for an existing home is a loan for 20% of the value
of a home, advanced to good credit quality owner occupiers not moving
home, with up to 60% equity remaining in their home.
On sale of the
property or at the end of the term, the borrower repays Castle Trust the
loan plus 40% of any increase in value; if the value has fallen, the borrower
repays the original loan amount (Castle Trust does not share in any loss).
A Buy To Let Mortgage is substantially similar to a Partnership Mortgage
for remortgaging customers, but the target market is UK residential
property landlords.
Liquid Assets: Castle Trust currently invests its surplus funds in short term
bank deposits and fixed interest securities through sterling liquidity funds.
Castle Trust will use investments from Housas to fund its mortgage
business. As at the date of this prospectus, Castle Trust holds in excess of
£40 million of Liquid Assets.
Lending customers are reached through carefully selected business
partners. Castle Trust has due diligence technology and processes to
enable it to make lending decisions quickly, expected to be often on an
automated basis.
By virtue of its focus on mortgage lending, the absence of large fixed
overheads in the form of a branch network and a policy of not cross
subsidising loss making products with profitable ones, Castle Trust offers
competitive retail investment products via Housas.
A Growth Housa consists of shares issued by the Cell ("Growth Housa
Shares") and, as of February 2014, is a fixed term investment for 5 or 10
years with returns linked to the Halifax House Price Index (the "HHPI" or
the "Index").
Before February 2014, all shares issued by the Cell were
Growth Housa shares; the Cell offered Growth Housa shares with fixed
terms of 3 years, 5 years or 10 years.
Returns from a Growth Housa are a multiple of the rise of the Index if the
index rises over the investment term (e.g. 150% over 5 years) or a fraction
of the fall of the Index if it falls over the term (e.g. 50% over 5 years). The
multiple and the fraction are determined by the investment term selected.
From February 2014, the Cell will no longer issue Growth Housa shares
with a fixed term of 3 years. Instead, and in addition to the Growth Housa
shares with terms of 5 years and 10 years, the Cell will issue a Protected
Housa consisting
of shares issued by the Cell ("Protected Housa
Shares") with a fixed term of 5 years and with returns linked to the Index.
Under a Protected Housa, Shareholders' capital is protected at maturity if
the HHPI either remains at the same level or declines over the investment
term.
Housas that are purchased from Castle Trust by UK retail investors will be
subject to the Financial Services Compensation Scheme ("FSCS") for
investment products, which as at the date of this document is £50,000.
Castle Trust's consolidated financial statements for the period ended 30
September 2013
showed total
equity of £42,984,362, total assets of
£45,627,085 and a loss for the period of £7,989,342.
Residential Property
The value of UK housing is over £4,000 billion, which is greater than UK
shares, bonds and commercial property combined. However, despite its
value, it has been difficult to invest in because the majority of properties
are owner-occupied, which by definition means that they are not owned by
external investors.
The value of the housing market is influenced by many different factors
including credit conditions and the availability of mortgage finance, interest
rates, employment
levels, demographics, planning restrictions, new
housing supply, and general market sentiment.
The housing market has the following attractive investment features:

low volatility;

low correlation to other major asset classes; and

relatively high risk-adjusted returns.
Strategy for growth
Castle Trust's strategy is to build on its position as a new UK mortgage and
investment firm through a focus on carefully selected segments of the
market with a prudent approach to capital and liquidity. The Castle Trust
Directors intend to achieve this strategy by building on Castle Trust's key
strengths through growth in lending and retail investments. Castle Trust
has accredited 285 mortgage advisers for the distribution of mortgages,
and Housas are distributed directly and through a variety of intermediary
platforms. Castle Trust anticipates establishing relationships with new
distribution partners and is pursuing a number of potential near term
opportunities.

would have been paid on the redemption of those shares as if the date of
the commencement of the winding up were the Maturity Date, any balance
then remaining (whether in any separate account or otherwise) shall be
distributed pari passu to the holders of the Founder Shares pro rata in
proportion to the number of Founder Shares held by each such holder at

C.5 Description of any
restrictions on
transferability of

Directors do not anticipate that an active secondary market will develop in
the Shares.
C.6 Admission/
Regulated
markets
where the
securities are
traded
Not applicable; the Shares will not be admitted to trading on a regulated
market. The Company will only apply for the Shares to be admitted to
trading on the Official List of the Channel Islands Securities Exchange
Limited which is not a regulated market for the purposes of the Markets in
Financial Instruments Directive (Directive 2004/39/EC).
C.7 Dividend policy No dividends will be paid by the Cell in respect of any Shares.
Section D – Risks
D.1 Key information
on the key risks
The risks associated with the Company include the following:
specific to issuer
or industry

the Company and the Cell are recently established. Investors should
be aware that the Cell has no material assets save for the Investment
Provider's obligations under the Investment Product and therefore if
the Investment Provider fails to meet those obligations, the Cell will
not be able to meet its obligations to Investors.
The risks associated with the Investment Provider include the following:

the Investment Product will be unsecured, and Castle Trust will not
provide collateral in respect of its obligations under the Investment
Product, therefore the Shares are subject to the credit risk of Castle
Trust. Castle Trust may be exposed to the risk of borrowers defaulting
on their repayment obligations;

Castle Trust mortgages are not readily tradable, and if the time from
origination to repayment is longer than usual in the UK mortgage
market, Castle Trust may not have sufficient liquid resources to meet
its obligations as the Investment Provider;

Castle Trust seeks to match the constituents of the Index meaning
that its assets should match its Investment Product liabilities.
However, there remains the risk that the Index will outperform Castle
Trust's assets and therefore it may be unable to meet its liabilities
under the Investment Product if Castle Trust holds insufficient cash or
fixed or floating rate income securities;

Castle Trust is a recently formed entity with only one year's operating
history and revenues. It did not commence operations prior to
obtaining the advances to it under the Investment Product of the
Proceeds of the offer from the Cell in October 2012. As with any new
business, there is a limited basis on which to evaluate the level of
demand for, or Castle Trust's ability to sell, its mortgages; and
Castle Trust's future success will also depend on, among other
factors, its ability to attract and retain such qualified personnel and
key employees such as Sean Oldfield.
D.3 Key information
on the key risks
The risks associated with an investment in the Shares include the
following:
specific to
securities
the Shares will provide Shareholders with a positive return on their
investment only if the Final Index Level is greater than the Initial Index
Level. If the Final Index Level is equal to or lower than the Initial Index
Level, holders of Growth Housa Shares will receive an Investment
Return that may be equal to or less than their Investment Amount
(whereas holders of Protected Housa Shares will receive their original
Investment Amount);
the Index tracks the UK housing market. As such, the Index can be
volatile and affected by many economic factors outside the control of
the Cell, the Company and the Index Sponsor. The methodology
affecting the compilation of the Index may also be changed by the
Index Sponsor during the Investment Term which may reduce the
Investment Return payable;
Shareholders will not be entitled to redeem any of their Shares prior to
the Maturity Date. However, Shareholders may dispose of their
Shares if a secondary market develops but there is no guarantee that
such a market will develop or whether it will be liquid or illiquid; and
investors will purchase their Shares from Castle Trust and under the
Terms and Conditions, Castle Trust will be obliged to repurchase the
Shares from Shareholders on the Maturity Date for an amount equal
to the Investment Return. Should Castle Trust fail to do so,
Shareholders only recourse will be to the FSCS.

proceeds Castle Trust will use the funds it receives from the Cell under the
Investment Product to lend mortgages (about 80% of such funds received)
and also to invest in liquid assets (about 20% of such assets). Obligations
under the Investment Product mean that Castle Trust must pay the Cell an
amount equal to the Investment Return as Shares mature.

the Offer is fully subscribed, the net proceeds of the Offer would be
£149,994,425. The net proceeds from the offer of 150,000,000 Shares in

The Offer is conditional on the Company, acting in respect of the Cell:
(i)
having received the approval of the CISEA for the Shares of each
relevant Share Class to be admitted to the Official List of the CISEA
(subject only to their issue); and
(ii)
having entered into (or the Directors being satisfied that the Cell is
reasonably likely to be able to enter into) the Investment Product in respect
of each relevant Share Class on terms that the Directors, at the time that
each such Investment Product is entered into (or, if earlier, on the Issue
Date), consider to be such as to enable the Cell to meet the investment
objective of each Share Class.
If any of these conditions are not satisfied in respect of the Shares of a
relevant Growth Housa Share Class or Protected Housa Share Class, the
Cell shall not issue any Shares of that Share Class pursuant to the Offer
and the application monies for the Shares shall be returned (without
interest) to each prospective investor at the prospective investor's risk by

E.4 Interests material
to the issue/
Conflicting
interests
Castle Trust and CTCM will have a number of roles in relation to the Share
Classes and the Shares and as a result may have a number of potential
conflicts of interest.
In respect of each Share Class, CTCM will be appointed by the Cell to
provide investment management services to the Cell in respect of that
Share Class in accordance with the Management Agreement and will
market the Shares in accordance with the Marketing Agreement. CTCM is
a subsidiary of Castle Trust which will be the Investment Provider in
respect of the Investment Products in respect of each Share Class.
Castle Trust and/or its Affiliates may contract with the Company (acting in
respect of itself or any protected cell in the Company) and/or enter into
transactions which relate to a Share Class, the Shares issued in respect of
any Share Class and any Investment Products and as a result Castle Trust
may face a conflict between its obligations as counterparty and its interests
and/or its Affiliates' interests in other capacities.
Castle Trust and CTCM will have regard to their obligations to act in
accordance with the rules of the FCA and any other regulatory regime to
which they are subject and their obligations to other clients. Castle Trust
and CTCM will use their reasonable endeavours to procure that any such
conflicts of interest are resolved fairly to ensure that the interests of the
Company, the Cell and the Shareholders (as applicable) are not unfairly
prejudiced. However, where any such conflict is resolved in this way, such
resolution may be adverse to the Cell, the relevant Share Class and the
relevant Shareholders or to the interests of the Cell, the relevant Share
Class and the relevant Shareholders.
E.5 Name of the
offeror/Lock-up
agreements
Castle Trust Capital plc will be offering the Growth Housa Shares to
investors to purchase. There are no lock up arrangements.
E.6 Dilution Not applicable; the Offer relates to new Share Classes. Accordingly, the
holders of shares of other classes in the Cell will not find their shareholding
diluted by the Offer. The offer of Shares will not dilute the Founder
Shareholder's holding of Founder Shares or the Ordinary Shareholder's
holding of Ordinary Shares.
E.7 Estimated
expenses charged
to the investor
Investors who purchase Shares through Financial Intermediaries who do
not give financial advice (including platforms) may be subject to an
administration charge for services provided by that Financial Intermediary
of up to 3% of their Investment Amount (to be paid to the Financial
Intermediary) depending on whether the Financial Intermediary agrees to
waive some or all of such charge (which is generally expected to be the
case).
Investors who purchase Shares directly from Castle Trust or CTCM will be
subject to a charge of 3% of their Investment Amount.
Investors introduced by Financial Intermediaries who give financial advice
will not be subject to a charge by Castle Trust. Investors who use such
Financial Intermediaries may, however, incur a separate charge payable to
the Financial Intermediary in relation to any advice it has given.
