Asian Option Uses the average underlying price over a number of predefined periods (monthly, quarterly, annually) rather the price at a specific time. Auto-Callable If, on an observation day, the price of the underlying is either on or above (bull), or, on or below (bear) a previously defined barrier («autocall trigger»), the product is redeemed prior to maturity. Bearish The product benefits from falling prices. Callable The issuer has the right to cancel early, however, there is no obligation to do so. Capped Participation The product has a maximum yield. Conditional Coupon A scenario exists where the coupon is not repaid (also: coupon at risk). COSI The issuer of Collateral Secured Instruments provides SIX Swiss Exchange with collateral covering their current value. For the investor this means protection in case of issuer default. European Barrier Only the last-day closing price is relevant for monitoring the barrier. Floor Represents the minimum amount which is redeemed at a product’s expiry, independent of the performance of the underlying. Invers The product performs in inverse proportion to the underlying. Lock-In If the lock-in level is reached, repayment is at least in a preassigned amount regardless of future development of the underlying price. Look-back Barrier and/or strike are set with a time delay (Look-back phase). Partial Capital Protection Capital protection is between 90% and 100% of the nominal value. Participation Gibt an zu welchem Anteil der Anleger von der Kursentwicklung des Basis- wertes profitiert. Dies kann 1:1, über- oder unterproportional sein.
