When you buy a structured debt security, you are lending money to the issuer and become a creditor. The potential return depends on the performance of an underlying security, such as an interest rate or a benchmark equity index.
An EMTN (Euro Medium Term Note) is a type of medium-term debt instrument issued in EUR and having a maturity of 1 to 10 years.
Structured debt securities may vary significantly in terms of capital protection and yield mechanisms. For some issues, your capital is not protected.
A “Callable Range Accrual” EMTN is a debt instrument that allows the issuer to pay the investor a predetermined interest rate at a predetermined date as long as the predetermined index is within a predetermined range.
In other words, on a daily basis check, if the index reference is within the range, the predefined interest rate is paid on the predefined coupon date.
The invested capital is repaid in full at final maturity date (capital protection).
