PM Reverse Convertible

Ottimizzazione del rendimento

In general, PM Reverse Convertibles provide an optimized return under stable or slightly positive/negative market conditions. The enhanced coupon rate of this product can compensate for giving up any participation in the appreciation of the precious metal versus the investment currency below the strike level and for the risk of being repaid in the precious metal (full downside risk at expiry).

You are looking for a way to enhance yield on your cash positions
You are familiar with both structured products and precious metals markets
You intend to stay invested in this product until its redemption date

You do not expect the expiration value of the underlying to be at or above the strike level at expiry

Summary of main product-specific risks

Return is limited to the coupon amount
A loss can result if the expiration value of the underlying is at or above the strike level
In a worst case scenario, the product becomes worthless and you will lose the capital invested (no capital protection)
You are fully exposed to the issuer's default risk

Profit potential

The profit potential is limited to the coupon amount. You will achieve the maximum profit potential if the expiration value of the underlying is below the strike level.

Break-even

If the expiration value of the underlying is at or above the strike level, you will be fully exposed to the depreciation of the precious metal versus the investment currency. However, the coupon amount, which is paid independently of the development of the underlying, can compensate to a degree for the depreciation of the PM versus the investment currency.

Loss potential

There is no protection against the depreciation of the precious metal versus the investment currency above the strike level at expiry. In a worst case scenario, the product becomes worthless and you will lose all of the invested capital. However, due to the coupon amount, the potential loss in such a redemption scenario might be lower compared to a direct investment in the underlying.
