Investment Objectives:
- To diversify investment portfolio, you wish to extend your investments to a further asset class “Alternative Investments” or to increase your exposure to the commodity asset class.
- USD denominated investment for 3 years.
- A reasonable increase is expected in the prices of the five Note commodities over the tenor of the Note.
- The Note is capital secured through adoption of a Sharia-compliant mechanism approved by the Sharia Advisor.
- The Note has a nominal value of USD 1,000 per Unit and a 3 years maturity. The Note is linked to a basket of 5 commodities. The Note will pay an annual return from the trade date until maturity. A guaranteed return of 10% at the end of year 1, achieved by way of a Sharia-compliant mechanism approved by the Sharia Advisor, will be paid followed by a potential return of up to 8.00% at the end of each of years 2 and 3, depending on the performance of the basket on the yearly valuation dates since launch. For each commodity, which may have decreased in the value since the launch, the actual percentage decreased since launch will be included in the calculation of the annual return for years 2 and 3, while a positive performance will be included, with a cap of 8.00%. The values so calculated will then be aggregated to produce a net percentage return on all 5 commodities in the Underlying Basket. Every single commodity is equally weighted and the performance is individually capped at 8.00% in the calculation of the average performance of the basket. The return is paid to investors every year on each Return Payment Date.
