You may consider an investment in this product, if

  • You look for a way to enhance yield in sideway markets
  • You are familiar with both structured products and equity markets
  • You are looking for a fixed return paid at regular intervals
  • You intend to be invested in this product until its redemption date
  • You are comfortable being exposed to the negative performance of the underlying, without benefiting from a positive performance of the underlying above the strike level
  • You do not expect the underlying to close at or below the strike level on the expiration date
  • You are comfortable with a physical delivery of the underlying on the redemption date that is linked to the performance of the underlying on the expiration date which value may be considerably less than the capital invested
  • You wish to be invested in CHF (Swiss Franc). If your reference currency is not CHF, the return may increase or decrease in reference currency terms as a result of exchange rate fluctuations
