How the Index-Linked Capital Protected Investment Product- European (Bullish/Bearish) Works
 |
The Bank pre-sets the Trigger Index Level. |
 |
Investors choose a bullish or bearish view on the Underlying Index. |
 |
On the Final Index Level Determination Date, the Final Index Level is compared with the Trigger Index Level to determine the return at maturity. If the Index Level moves along with the investors’ anticipation, a Potential Return can be gained. Even if the Index Level moves against the investors’ anticipation, investors can still get the Guaranteed Investment Amount. |
 |
Investors can receive the Guaranteed Investment Amount and Potential Return (if any) at maturity. |
 |
The investment amount and return at maturity will be settled in the Base Currency. |

How the Index-Linked Capital Protected Investment Product – American (Range/Double Range) Works
American (Range)
 |
The Bank pre-sets the Trading Range. |
 |
If the Closing Index Level of the Underlying Index of each Observation Day stays within the Trading Range, investors can obtain the Potential Return on the Maturity Date. If the Closing Index Level of the Underlying Index of any Observation Day is outside the Trading Range (i.e. at/below the “Lower Barrier” or at/above the “Upper Barrier”), investors will not get the Potential Return but can still obtain the Guaranteed Investment Amount on the Maturity Date. |
 |
Investors can receive the Guaranteed Investment Amount and Potential Return (if any) at maturity. |
 |
The investment amount and return at maturity will be settled in the Base Currency. |
American (Double Range)
 |
The Bank pre-sets Trading Range 1 & Trading Range 2. |
 |
If the Closing Index Level of the Underlying Index of each Observation Day stays within Trading Range 1, investors can obtain Potential Return 1 on the Maturity Date. If the Closing Index Level of the Underlying Index of any Observation Day is at/below “Lower Barrier 1” or at/above “Upper Barrier 1”, but the Closing Index Levels of all Observation Days stay within Trading Range 2, investors can get Potential Return 2 on the Maturity Date. If the Closing Index Level of the Underlying Index of any Observation Day is outside Trading Range 2 (i.e. at/below “Lower Barrier 2” or at/above “Upper Barrier 2”), investors will not get Potential Return 1 or Potential Return 2 but can still obtain the Guaranteed Investment Amount on the Maturity Date. |
