In detail

Universe of eligible securities

• The Geneva Economy Quintessence Tracker Certificate only contains shares traded on the Swiss stock exchange or on other international stock exchanges. These are listed companies based in the canton of Geneva (headquarters, branches or subsidiaries) which largely represent the major employers in this geographic area and the companies that play a key role in Geneva's economy.
• The minimum market capitalisation of each company is set at CHF 500 million.

Significant geo-sectoral diversification

• The proportion of Swiss equities is close to 50%. The Certificate is currently exposed to other currencies.
  It is well diversified on an international level.
• The Certificate is managed with a sectoral allocation that is close to equal weighting to avoid excessive concentration typical of local or regional economies with centres of excellence.

Good liquidity

• The shares selected are, for the most part, large market capitalisations: the basket at launch represents more than CHF 1'000 billion in valuation. However, the basket contains a limited number of less liquid securities, the weight of which is capped to ensure optimal liquidity overall.

Conditions

Minimum investment : 1 Certificate
Maximum issue : CHF 20,000,000

Risk tolerance

The risks are similar to a direct investment in the underlying securities (evolution of the share price, product holding period, price volatility etc.), i.e. the risk is that of a global equities basket.
The risks associated with certain investments, particularly derivatives, are not suitable for all investors. Investors are invited to conduct a specific review of their risk profile and ask their adviser about the inherent risks, in particular by consulting the SwissBanking brochure « Risks Involved in Trading Financial Instruments » prior to any transaction.
Issuer's risk: the investor is exposed to the risk of the issuer's insolvency, which may result in the partial or total loss of the invested capital. The preservation of the value of the investment instrument depends not only on the evolution of the underlying(s) but also on the solvency of the issuer, which may change during the life of the structured product. The rating of the issuer indicated is in accordance with the situation at the time of issue and may change during the life of the product.
