Participation Products

 

Participation products generally combine a certain number of defined individual securities (a basket) or an index into a single security. Participation products often fluctuate in a 1:1 relationship to the underlying (delta =1). At maturity, the closing index value or closing price of the basket is paid out. As a rule, participation products offer an opportunity to achieve broad risk diversification even with smaller investment amounts, while also keeping administrative costs low.

Your Market expectation

  • Underlying security trades sideways to slightly lower
  • Underlying will not hit knock-in during term to maturity

Characteristics

  • Unlimited participation in price increase of underlying
  • Once knock-in is hit, bonus certificate becomes tracker certificate
  • Waiver of current income in favour of strategy
  • Lower risk than direct investment as partial protection until knock-in occurs
  • If the product is based on a number of underlying (multi-asset), a higher bonus payment or a lower barrier can be achieved but the degree of risk is higher
  • Minimum repayment of strike, provided knock-in was not touched
