4 The challenge to devise a clear and simple structure spanning the entire range of structured products The Deutscher Derivate Verband (DDV), the German Derivatives Association, has launched a number of initiatives to make investment and leverage products more comprehensible and transparent. By doing so, the Association is playing an important role in the wider effort to protect retail investors. We felt it was essential to provide a clear and simple structure spanning the full range of structured products one that retail investors could easily follow. To this end, the DDV reached agreement with its members and sponsoring members on a uniform product classification system the Derivatives League. This gives investors an overview of the most important and most frequently traded types of structured products and their main characteristics from safe Uncapped Capital Protection Certificates through to more speculative Knock-Out Warrants.

5 Product classification the DDV Derivatives League Investment products with capital protection (100 percent) To ensure that investors were able to understand our product classification system, we decided to base it on a real-life scenario. The Derivatives League explains how different types of structured products work by comparing the basic categories to the positions of a football team, in each case reflecting the level of market risk involved. There are defensive and offensive positions that match the opportunity / risk profile of each structured product. That makes it easier to compare their main characteristics and the associated benefits and disadvantages or opportunities and risks. Uncapped Capital Protection Certificates With Uncapped Capital Protection Certificates, the issuer promises to repay the nominal amount to the investor at maturity. In addition, there is the potential for attractive returns depending on the performance of one or several underlyings. Capital Protection Products with Coupon Capital Protection Products with Coupon are interest-bearing securities with various additional conditions attached. The amount of interest may depend on the performance of the underlying asset. At final maturity the bonds offer 100 percent capital protection.

6 Investment products without capital protection (< 100 percent) Credit Linked Notes Credit Linked Notes offer a means of investing in a borrower s credit rating. The amount of interest and the capital repayment are dependent on the borrower s credit rating. As long as the borrower does not experience a credit event, the investor will receive interest payments and, when the note matures, the nominal value. If a credit event does occur, however, the note is repaid early. In this case, interest payments cease, and the amount repaid may be significantly below the nominal value. Reverse Convertibles With Reverse Convertibles, interest is paid regardless of the performance of the underlying asset. The type and the amount of the repayment at final maturity depend on whether the value of the underlying asset is equal to, above or below the strike price on the valuation date. If the value of the underlying asset at the valuation date is at least equal to the strike price, the investor receives the nominal value. If the value of the underlying asset is below the strike price, the investor receives either the value of the underlying assets or the underlying assets themselves. Discount Certificates Discount Certificates give a discount on the current price of the underlying. This discount provides a cushion against potential falls in the price of the underlying. In return, investors accept a cap on profits from potential price rises, and they do not receive any dividends 6 The structured products market in Germany Product classification

7 Express Certificates With Express Certificates, movements in the price of the underlying are monitored at specific intervals (e. g. annually) and compared with the initial price. If, at one of the reference dates, the price is higher than the initial price, the investor receives the nominal value of the certificate plus a predefined additional amount before the end of the term. If the price is not higher than the initial price at the reference date, the process is repeated in the next period taking double the additional amount as a basis, and so on. If the price falls, a cushion generally absorbs any price falls up to a predefined value. It is only if the price falls below this predefined value that losses will arise, as they would with a direct investment in the underlying asset. Bonus Certificates Bonus Certificates pay a bonus amount at final maturity if the underlying does not reach or breach the specified barrier in the relevant monitoring period. The investor does not receive any dividend payments. Tracker Certificates Tracker Certificates offer exposure to the movements in the price of an underlying instrument. This means that with just one Tracker Certificate, investors can put their money into an asset class, sector or region, optimising and diversifying their portfolio. Outperformance / Capped Outperformance Certificates With Outperformance Certificates, if the price of the underlying asset goes up, investors receive a return equal to a pre-specified multiple of the return on the underlying asset. Capped Outperformance Certificates offer investors the opportunity for leveraged profit from a rise in the price of the underlying above the strike price within a specified range. The profit is limited by a cap. With products of this type, the investor s exposure to potential losses below the strike price is limited to any loss in the underlying. There is no entitlement to a dividend. The structured products market in Germany Product classification 7

8 Leverage Products without Knock-Out Warrants Warrants provide leveraged exposure to rising (call) and falling (put) prices in an underlying. The price is influenced not only by movements in the underlying, but also by other factors such as volatility or the (residual) term. If the price of the underlying at maturity is below (call) or above (put) the strike price, investors lose their entire capital. Constant Leverage Certificates Constant Leverage Certificates provide leveraged exposure to both rising (long) and falling (short) prices in an underlying asset. They have no fixed term and are based on a strategy index that reflects the percentage daily change in the underlying using a constant factor. The size of the factor determines the amount by which the strategy index leverages the daily price change in the underlying. Leverage Products with Knock-Out Knock-Out Warrants Like Warrants, Knock-Out Warrants also provide leveraged exposure to rising (call) and falling (put) prices in an underlying. Knock-Out Warrants track the movements of the underlying on a one-to-one basis. This largely eliminates the impact of volatility. If the knock-out barrier is breached, investors generally lose all their invested capital. 8 The structured products market in Germany Product classification

At the end of June 2014, 95 percent of all the structured products purchased by investors were in the defensive risk categories 1 and 2. Their exposure to market risk is therefore lower than in the case of equities and most equity and property funds.

The EDG Risk Report charts the distribution of equity-based structured products across the different risk categories in terms of volume and compares the results with the distribution of risk for the corresponding underlyings. Over three quarters of all structured products by volume are invested in risk categories 1 and 2, while the corresponding underlyings can be found in risk categories 2 to 5.

30 Performance of structured products The Deutscher Derivate Verband (DDV), the German Derivatives Association, supports the initiative of the European Derivatives Group (EDG AG) to publish indices for Uncapped Capital Protection Certificates, Bonus Certificates and Reverse Convertibles. The indices show the average performance of popular categories of structured products using a representative selection of products, so allowing direct comparisons with the performance of other financial products. This gives investors a transparent measure of how a particular type of structured product has performed in comparison to a direct investment. The movements of the indices for the various structured product categories in the first half of 2014 are shown alongside the EURO STOXX 50 equity index for comparison. This stock index is the most popular underlying in terms of the number of customer orders and volumes invested. 30 The structured products market in Germany Performance of structured products

Whether the underlying goes up or down, these more defensive investors will at least receive their original sum back at maturity.

They also cushion any losses. However, investors only profit to a limited extent from upward movements in the equity markets; if the reference price is equal to or exceeds the strike price, the investor receives the nominal amount at maturity. Since it was launched in January 2009, the Reverse Convertibles Index has achieved an annual return of 5.74 percent, while over the same period the EURO STOXX 50 achieved an annual return of 4.49 percent.

33 Performance of Bonus Certificates Bonus Index 1,150 Price (indexed) 1,100 1,050 1, January February March April May June July 2014 EURO STOXX 50 Bonus Index Bonus Certificates show their strengths mainly when the price of the underlying moves sideways or rises or falls only slightly. However, if the underlying rises very sharply they cannot generally keep up with its price trend. Since it was launched in January 2006, the Bonus Index has generated an average annual return of 1.93 percent. In the same period, the EURO STOXX 50 recorded a loss of 1.29 percent.

34 The structured products market in Europe As an investment class, structured products are a very recent phenomenon. Europe s first-ever structured product was a Tracker Certificate based on the DAX, the German blue-chip equities index. It was issued in Germany in Therefore, it should come as no surprise that the German structured products market is one of the biggest in Europe alongside the Swiss structured products market. The volume of structured products bought by investors is increasing in other countries, too, especially in Austria, Italy, France and Sweden. The respective associations in these countries also belong to the European Structured Investment Products Association (EUSIPA), the sector s European umbrella organisation.

35 EUSIPA the European umbrella association EUROPEAN STRUCTURED INVESTMENT PRODUCTS ASSOCIATION Board of Directors General Assembly The European Structured Investment Products Association (EUSIPA) acts as the voice of the structured products sector in Europe. Its main focus is on structured securities such as certificates and warrants. EUSIPA works to bring about an attractive and fair regulatory framework for these financial products. The European umbrella association maintains close links with European policymakers and European securities regulators on every aspect of structured products. It provides expert advice and opinions. EUSIPA responds to initiatives of the European Parliament and regulatory proposals of the Commission. It sets out the sector s position on all issues that could have a significant impact on the European structured products sector.

36 EUSIPA Derivatives Map Europe s structured products sector associations have reached agreement on a joint system for classifying and numbering structured investment products and leverage products. The result of this consultation is the EUSIPA Derivatives Map. Although the map is rather more detailed than the German Derivatives League, the main categories of the league nevertheless match those of the European product classification system.
