Market indexes are designed to be well-diversified and less volatile than individual stocks. A major single-day drop in performance is an extremely rare event which would be equivalent to a stock market crash. This Note determines the stability level the index must respect to avoid a stability disruption event. As compensation for the risk borne by the investor, the product pays an annual coupon which is prorated if a stability disruption event occurs. To determine whether a stability disruption event has taken place, the difference between the index closing prices on two consecutive trading days is measured and compared to the fixed stability level. If the index performance falls below the stability level, a stability disruption event has occurred and the product is automatically redeemed. This may result in a significant or total loss of capital. For example, if the stability level is fixed at -11%, and performance drops to -15%, a stability disruption event will have occurred. Each percentage point drop below the stability level corresponds to a loss of 10% of the nominal. In this example, the difference is 4 percentage points, or 40% of the nominal. The product would therefore pay out 600 francs plus the interest accrued on the coupon. In the extreme case of a single-day loss of 21%, the entire capital would be lost and only the interest accrued on the coupon would be paid out
