Equity Buy on Dips Note

Participation

Underlying: Equity Index

In general, Equity Buy On Dips Notes allow you to participate in the performance of the underlying and get a potential regular coupon payment. Initially, the investment is partially allocated into the underlying and cash. The product will reallocate the exposure from cash into the underlying if pre-defined trigger levels are reached, enabling investors to take advantage of lower entry levels in a negative market environment provided that the underlying recovers all or part of its loss until expiry.

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.
