Optimiser 5 may be suitable for investors who seek
  • Diversified exposure to global markets including
  • Equities, Bonds/Property and Commodities
  • 100% capital protection at Maturity*
  • Potential for capital growth
  • Coupon of 1.0% p.a.**
  • A medium-term market-linked investment
  • No entry, exit, management or brokerage fees payable on investments held until the Maturity Date


How does it work?

Optimiser 5 is linked to the performance of three multi-asset Investment Profiles:

Investment Profile Equities Bonds/Property Commodities
Equities-biased 60% 20% 20%
Balanced 1/3 1/3 1/3
Commodities-biased 20% 20% 60%

Each Asset Class consists of an equally weighted basket of Reference Assets:

Equities Bonds/Property Commodities
EURO STOXX 50 Citigroup World Government Bond Index Goldman Sachs US Energy Index
S&P BRIC 40
Goldman Sachs US Precious Metals Index
Nikkei 225 FTSE EPRA/NAREIT Global Real Estate Index
S&P 500 Goldman Sachs US Agriculture Excess Return Index

Your final return at the end of the 4 year investment will at least be equal to your capital invested, plus the Best  Performing Investment Profile Return multiplied by the Participation Rate.

The participation rate will be determined by Citigroup on the Issue Date and will range between 100% and 130%.

Averaging

The Asset Class Return which is used in calculating the Best Performing Investment Profile, includes an averaging feature. The averaging feature means that the Official Level of each Reference Asset is captured on each of the four Observation Dates and is averaged. The effect of averaging is that it places emphasis on gains or losses in the Reference Assets on the Observation Dates. If the Reference Asset rises over the life of the investment and then drops in value close to Maturity, Investors will still participate in the gains arising on earlier Observation Dates. Averaging therefore reduces the volatility of the Investment Profile Return and allows for a significantly higher Participation Rate than would otherwise be possible without averaging.
