Banking on infrastructure equities while enjoying a capital guarantee:
The new HVB Garant Cap Anleihe on a basket of infrastructure equities
- The new HVB Garant Cap Anleihe 2/2025 offers earnings opportunities based on the key future topic “infrastructure”
- Capital security thanks to repayment of at least 100 percent of the nominal value at the end of the term
- The capital is invested for a total of 7 years and 8 months, and the bond can be sold under normal market conditions at its current price
15 international equities in the infrastructure sector with a primary focus on the energy supply and building industry are the basis of the performance. Christian Noisternig, Area Head for Private Customers, Corporate Customers and Independent Professions at UniCredit Bank Austria emphasises: “With our new GarantAnleihe on a basket of infrastructure equities we offer investors the chance to invest in the promising infrastructure sector on a diversified basis and to benefit from interesting earnings opportunities in these times of low interest rates. The integrated capital security limits the term-end risk within the meaning of a security-oriented investment.”
The new GarantAnleihe offers interesting investment opportunities in the medium-term maturity segment. When calculating valuating performance, an average value for each share of the basket is set. For this purpose on 13 observation dates at the beginning of the term (first observation period) and 13 observation dates at the end of the term (second observation period) the respective closing rates (reference prices) of the shares contained in the basket at each relevant stock market will be determined. There are two average values for each share: For every share the average of the 13 reference prices at the beginning of the term will be compared to the average of the 13 reference prices at the end of the term – as a result the performance of the basket will be set.
If the performance of the basket of equities is greater than or equal to zero, investors receive the nominal value of EUR 1000 plus the positive performance multiplied by the nominal value per bond, up to a maximum performance of 40 percent (cap or upper limit) on 27 February 2025, the defined repayment date. This means that the maximum redemption amount is EUR 1400 per bond. 1
If the performance of the basket of equities falls below zero, the capital security takes effect and the investor is repaid at the nominal value of EUR 1000 per bond. The Garant-Cap-Anleihe provides a currency hedge, which means that the currency of the equities, which are included in the basket, will be converted into euros on a one-for-one basis (Quanto). Dividend payments during the term will lead to a reduction of equity prices in the basket, which can have a negative effect on the performance of the basket. The bond can be sold under normal market conditions at its current price.
