Compare Two Financial Products Beyond the Marketing Headlines
Both products have compelling marketing. This compares them on the things the marketing omits: what the total return actually is after fees and tax, what the liquidity constraints are, who protects your money and how, and the specific scenario where each product is the right call. Describe both products.

2. The lock-in, notice period, or liquidity constraints for each
3. The protection: FSCS coverage, counterparty risk, or relevant regulation
4. The scenario where Product A clearly wins and the scenario where Product B does
