Key Takeaways

  • Notes 1–4 are primarily growth-oriented with leveraged participation and 30% maturity barriers.
  • Note 5 is income-oriented (monthly coupons) with a 20% barrier and issuer call feature.
  • All notes carry issuer credit risk and potential loss of principal if barriers are breached at maturity.

Important Considerations (Read Before Investing)

  • Complexity: These are derivative-linked securities; performance depends on index behavior and note mechanics.
  • Barrier Risk: Protection applies only as described at maturity; interim declines can still occur.
  • Issuer Credit: Payments depend on the issuing bank’s ability to meet obligations; not FDIC insured.
  • Liquidity: Secondary market is limited/at issuer’s discretion; plan to hold to maturity.
  • Tax Treatment: May be complex and differ by structure; consult a tax professional.
  • Concentration: Integrate within a diversified portfolio; avoid over-allocating to a single note or theme.
  • Suitability: Not appropriate for all investors; ensure alignment with objectives, horizon, and risk tolerance.
