Investing with capital security on maturity:
The new HVB Garant Anleihe based on the “Global Water Strategy Index”

• The new Garant Anleihe 08/2026 based on the “Global Water Strategy Index” gives you the opportunity to participate 100 per cent in any positive development of the index
• Capital security thanks to repayment of at least 100 per cent of the nominal value at the end of the term
• The term is seven years and six months, during which time the bond can be sold under normal market conditions at the current price 

The performance of the HVB Garant Anleihe 08/2026 is based on the “Global Water Strategy Index”. The index reflects the performance of the “KBI Institutional Water Fund”, an investment fund that is primarily invested in shares of companies that are traded at internationally renowned stock exchanges and connected to the water industry (e.g. Water infrastructure, technology and supply).  The other component are cash and money market instruments within the Euro Zone, which is used for the flexible security system. 

If the performance of the index is not as desired, the capital security is retrieved on maturity and the investors receive at least the nominal value of EUR 1,000 per share.

Markus Kosche, Head of Retail Sales Private Customers, Small Business and Independent Professions at UniCredit Bank Austria, emphasises: “The new Garant Anleihe, based on the ‘Global Water Strategy Index’, offers investors the opportunity in the current low-interest environment to invest in a growth market, and to make use of opportunities for returns. The integrated capital security offers 100 percent capital security and limits the risk on maturity within the meaning of a security-oriented financial investment.”

The new Garant Anleihe provides interesting medium-term investment opportunities. The division between the basket and the low-risk component, is based on the flexible security system of the “Global Water Strategy Index”. During quiet periods on the financial markets, the index shall participate in the performance of the basket. In return, the flexible security system shall assign the basket a high weighting and the money market instrument a low weighting. During periods with a continual rise and fall on the markets, the participation of the index in the performance of the basket will be reduced and its participation in the money market instruments will be increased. 

The increased participation of the index in the performance of the money market instruments can ensure that the risk for investors is limited as far as possible. The capital is invested for a total of seven years and six months, during which time the bond can be sold under normal market conditions at the current price. The underlying “Global Water Strategy Index” is calculated in euros. The index sponsor and calculation agent is UniCredit Bank AG (formerly Bayerische Hypo- und Vereinsbank AG).
