  • At maturity, the one time return will be the principal investment multiplied by the Market Increase and multiplied by the MPR. The Market Increase is calculated by taking the arithmetic average of the best performing index of the above listed indices at each Fixing Date. After each Fixing Date, the best performing index as at that Fixed Date is removed from eligibility as the best performing index for the remaining Fixing Dates.
  • The return on the 3-year product is subject to a cap of 36% on the individual best performing return for each year. The total return over 3 years cannot exceed 36%.

Payment Explanation
5-Year Term Example

Year 1 = Top return of Index 1 or Index 2 or Index 3 or Index 4 or Index 5
Year 2 = Top return of remaining 4 indices
Year 3 = Top return of remaining 3 indices
Year 4 = Top return of remaining 2 indices
Year 5 = Return on remaining index
