How this investment works

Your return depends on where the Nikkei 225 Index finishes on each annual Autocall Valuation Date. The investment may terminate early (autocall) if the index is at or above its initial level. There are 4 opportunities to autocall before the Final Valuation Date in year 5.

Index at or above starting level on an Autocall Valuation Date

The investment autocalls and pays 16.5% × number of periods elapsed (e.g. Year 1: 16.5%, Year 2: 33%, Year 3: 49.5%, Year 4: 66%, Year 5: 82.5%).

Index down, but above the 70% barrier at the Final Valuation Date

100% of capital is returned in Rand. No growth, but no capital loss.

Index closes below 70% of initial on the Final Valuation Date

Capital loss equal to the reference asset's negative return. This is the primary investment risk.

Nikkei 225 outlook

Japan's equity market is supported by improving wage growth, corporate reform, shareholder-friendly capital allocation, and a gradual move away from deflation. If these trends continue, the Nikkei 225 could be higher over the next five years — but investors should expect periods of volatility, especially from global growth shocks, yen moves, and interest-rate changes.

Bull case

  • •Strong wage growth supports domestic demand
  • •Corporate governance reforms and buybacks support valuations
  • •Japanese banks benefit from normal interest-rate environment
  • •Enhanced return available even if index is flat

Risks to watch

  • •Global recession risk
  • •Yen volatility
  • •Higher oil prices and imported inflation
  • •If index ends below 70% barrier, capital loss applies
