| What is my investment objective and how do I expect the market to perform? |
 |
You expect the price of the underlying (such as a share or an index) to rise (fall for Knock-Out Puts) and are aiming for superior gains relative
to a direct investment in the underlying if the market performs as you expect.
In addition you prefer to participate in an upside move (downside move for Knock-Out Puts) in the underlying with less capital invested than with a direct investment.

| Which product fits my needs? |
|
Knock-Out Warrants are securities, which give the holder the right but not the obligation to buy (calls) or sell (puts) a specific underlying at a predefined price.
Knock-Out Warrants usually exhibit larger price movements than the underlying due to the "leverage effect".
Despite the high potential for gains you should bear in mind that this effect might influence the value of Knock-Out Warrants
negatively when the price of the underlying does not perform as you expect.
|
| I am willing to accept the following risks |
|
As you are looking for an instrument that offers a substantial potential for gains you are willing to accept a higher degree of risk.
If the share or index underlying the Knock-Out Warrants does not move in the direction you expect, the value of the Knock-Out Warrants may decline sharply.
If the underlying touches or falls below (exceeds) the barrier price the claim for any payment does no longer subsist. You must be prepared to accept the possibility of losing all the capital you have invested.
Investments in derivative products involve particular risks. Interested persons should contact their financial advisor
before investing in such products.
