Investment Description
Early Maturity opportunities – share
performance trigger
Shares of 4 major International
stock-market listed companies will
trigger the autocall. If on any quarterly
observation date the closing levels of all
the shares are at or above their initial
levels, the investment will mature and a
coupon of 2.50% for each quarter
elapsed will be paid.
At Maturity – index performance trigger
The performance of the FTSE100 index
will determine the security of the capital
at maturity. If at maturity the shares are
not all above 100%, then so long as
closing level of the FTSE100 is at or
above 60% of their initial level, 100% of
capital is repaid.
If the closing level of the FTSE100 is
below 60% of its initial level, capital is
reduced with reference to the FTSE100,
on a 1 for 1 basis (e.g. if the FTSE is at
40% of its initial level, 40% of the capital
will be repaid).

Suitability
Rationale
Suitable for investors who:
 are seeking higher returns than current cash rates
 understand the risk associated with single stock pricing & performance
 understand and accept there is a risk to capital
 are looking to invest for the medium or long term, being happy to remain
invested until maturity
 are slightly bullish on equity markets in the short term but are seek an
investment that is designed to reduce single stock risk at maturity
 wish to use this investment as part of a well-diversified portfolio
 understand that the returns are fixed and that they will forgo growth in the
stocks / markets which exceed that fixed level
 understand the risk to capital in the event of counterparty default
 understand that should they need to sell their investment accept that the
trading price may mean they get back less then they invested
The classic autocall is one of the most popular
structured product pay-offs and in recent
years there has been a trend towards using
corporate stock as a performance link. This
provides an excellent opportunity for high
returns but can increase the risk to capital.
Share prices reflect not only the value of a
company but reflect sector specific events and
market perception. Consequently shares can
be more volatile than a market index. A
selection of four, high profile, large cap
dividend paying stocks will determine the early
maturity event. An index provides the capital
protection. The FTSE has been selected as the
capital protection link. Marginal growth only
is required to trigger an early maturity and
with frequent call opportunities, this a
favoured pay-off with advisers. The
combination of higher risk stocks tempered by
index linked protection makes an attractive
solution. The coupon snowballs, accruing up
to maturity, be that before the end of the
fixed term or not, so long as the criteria
determining both the both coupon and capital
payment is met.
