This is a structured investment with defined risk and returns. It has some interesting features as outlined below:
It is a 2 year investment linked to the performance of the S&P 500Index.
This investment has a maximum term of 2 years.
This product strikes on the 2nd August 2023. On that date, the index value of the S&P 500 will be recorded.
An annual coupon of 6.10% in USD or 6.80% in GBP is paid regardless of the performance of the underlying index.
If, at the end of the 2 year term the index is trading below 70% of its strike date value then capital is at risk. Investors will receive 1:1 return of the index, plus the final coupon for that period. For example, if the index drops by 40% of its strike date value, 60% of initial capital will be returned, plus the final coupon payment for that period.
If, at the end of the 2 year term, the index is on or above 70% of its strike date value, investors will receive their initial capital back in full, plus the final coupon payment for that period.
The Standard and Poor’s 500, or simply the S&P 500, is a stock market index tracking the stock performance of 500 large companies listed on exchanges in the United States. It is one of the most commonly followed equity indices.

The following analysis shows how the exact same investment would have performed if it had been repeated each day over a period of 10 years. We have used actual historical data spanning 12 years and tested 2,610 scenarios.
The Underlying Index never breached the 70% capital risk barrier at the end of the 2 year maturity. Therefore there were no cases of capital loss in the period tested. The annual coupon of 6.10% in USD or 6.80% in GBP were paid regardless of the performance of the Underlying Index, until the note reached its 2 year maturity.
