Principal protected structured investments are appropriate for conservative
investors seeking market exposure with principal preservation. These products
typically offer full principal protection at maturity with additional return
based on the performance of an underlying asset or group or assets.
Investors may forfeit some upside exposure to an underlying asset in exchange
for principal protection. With a variety of structures and complexities
available, principal protected investments can help manage portfolio risk while
maintaining appropriate exposure to the market.
Return of principal may not be obtained if the investment is sold prior to
maturity. In addition, the investor may receive a lower return than a direct
investment in the underlying security.
Principal protection and payment at maturity is subject to the credit risk of the
issuer.
