Why consider a market-linked term deposit

Market-linked term deposits are a good choice for you if:

  • You want no market risk
  • You want equity market returns
  • You do not need regular income from your investment

How market-linked term deposits work

The rate of return calculation varies depending on the specific market-linked term deposit.

  • Determined by the average of market performance for the named basket of equities, based on specific evaluation dates.
  • Then compared to the starting value of the securities to determine the percentage change.
  • At maturity, the principal is returned, plus any market-related returns.

Some market-linked products offer a guaranteed minimum return in addition to principal protection. Others may offer an even greater earning potential but do not offer a guaranteed minimum (still with principal protection).
