How does the capital protection work
It is done through a very simple and well-known strategy called Principal-Protected Note (PPN).
The principal protected note is a loan or bond which provides a guarantee on the principal invested, as long as it is held to maturity. In the case of the S&P 500 Index plan, Citi Bank, Morgan Stanley, Barclays, Deutsche Bank and HSBC "borrows" from the plan, thus providing the guarantee that the principal invested will be returned at the maturity.
All structured notes have two underlying parts:
A bond component: this provides the principal protection of your savings
A derivative component: the S&P 500 index return
A PPN is a zero-coupon (coupon simply means interest) bond – a bond that makes no interest payment until it matures – and an option with a payoff that is linked to an underlying asset. In this case – the S&P 500 Index. Based on its performance, the payoff will vary. For example, if the S&P 500 Index makes 60% over 15 years, investors will receive the full 60% gain.
In effect, the principal protection promise on the principal amount at the time of maturity, with the added gain from the index’s performance. The S&P 500 Index also offers a minimum of 40% return over the 15 years no matter how the index performs or the S&P 500 Index return, whichever is the greater.
