MLI Income Switch 2 (Series 2009-04)

This product is not available for subscription.

CitiFirst Protection

Overview

MLI Income Switch 2 (Series 2009 - 04) is designed for Investors seeking a high fixed rate in the first year, which converts into a floating rate (including a Margin over the Reference Rate) in subsequent years. The structure allows Investors to lock in a competitive fixed rate in Year 1 whilst still affording the opportunity to benefit from potential increases in the Reference Rate in Years 2-4.5, provided no Call Event occurs. This investment is tailored towards investors who believe interest rates will fall further in the short-term, but will rise again over the medium-term.
