Commodity Outperformance Certificate

Participation

Examplary Underlying: Commodity

In general, Commodity Outperformance Certificates allow you to participate in the performance of the underlying at a leveraged rate. This is normally financed by a cap level, which leads to a maximum participation in the leveraged performance, however the product can also exclude the cap level under favorable market conditions.

The payout profile is for illustrative purposes only and is based on the assumption that no exceptional cancellation will occur, in accordance with the issuer’s product documentation.

Scenario 1: Maximum return

Scenario 2: Leveraged and unlimited upside participation

If the underlying closes at or above the cap level on the expiration date, you will receive the maximum return

Scenario 2: Leveraged and unlimited upside participation

If the underlying closes above the strike level on the expiration date, you will benefit from a leveraged and unlimited participation in the upside performance of the underlying.

Scenario 3: Full downside risk

If the underlying closes at or below the strike level on the expiration date, you will be fully exposed to any negative performance of the underlying (unleveraged downside). In a worst case scenario this position becomes worthless and you would lose all of the invested capital.
