Candour Deferred Purchase Agreement
Equity Linked Investments
A 12-month structured investment designed for investors with a bearish to neutral view on the S&P/ASX 200. The product aims to deliver quarterly income with a tiered coupon structure, where coupon levels increase if the ASX200 weakens over the relevant observation period.
At maturity, investors receive 100% principal back, subject to issuer risk.
Key Features
- Reference asset: S&P/ASX 200
- Term: 12 months
- Income profile: Quarterly coupon observations with tiered coupon outcomes
- Principal outcome: 100% principal repaid at maturity, subject to issuer risk
- Target market: Wholesale / sophisticated investors only
How It Works
On each relevant coupon valuation date, the closing level of the S&P/ASX 200 is compared with its entry level. The coupon payable is determined by the degree of index decline over that observation period.
Indicative Coupon Ladder
- 6.00% p.a. if the index is flat or higher
- 7.20% p.a. if the index falls 0% to 10%
- 8.80% p.a. if the index falls 10% to 20%
- 11.30% p.a. if the index falls 20% to 30%
- 14.00% p.a. if the index falls 30% or more
