Illustrations and information

How does it work

Illustration of CPI deposit

Investor can choose different types of investments according to his/her anticipated exchange rate of the underlying currency pair, namely, Bullish, Bearish or Range.

A CPI deposit can also be classified as American[4] or European[5] according to the basis for determining the type of returns to be received at maturity, which are either potential returns or minimum returns (if any).

At maturity, you can receive the principal and enjoy the following returns (if any) depending on the exchange rate movement of the Underlying Currency Pair :

Scenario Returns (if any) to be received at maturity
Exchange rate of the Underlying Currency Pair moves as you anticipate and meets the trigger event Principal + Potential Return(s)
Exchange rate of the Underlying Currency Pair moves against your anticipation and doesn't meet the trigger event Principal + Minimum Return(s) (if any)

Please refer to the below examples for illustration.
