Every rationally thinking person seeks ways of how to get the most effective return on his money. For many it is then important to know in advance what the trend of an investment could be, and above all its yield potential and the market risk undertaken. If these parameters are also important to you then you could be interested in investing in Prémiový dluhopis RESPONSIBLE 2 (PD RESPONSIBLE 2). The five-year PD RESPONSIBLE 2 is designed for clients who do not require regular yield payouts, but prefer the growth of their investment depending on the trend of capital markets.

An interesting yield potential of up to 40% in five years with a return of at least 100% of the nominal value (see Note) of PD RESPONSIBLE 2 at its maturity date.

ESG is also a key “investment theme” for Prémiový dluhopis RESPONSIBLE 2. Its yield depends on the trend of the global Solactive ERSTE Green Invest Index VC index, which is diversified into six underlying assets – ESG stocks (USA, Europe, Japan, Emerging Markets) with a weight of 60% of the portfolio, and ESG bonds (corporate and corporate high yield bonds) accounting for 40% of the portfolio. Individual assets in the index portfolio are represented by ETF (exchange traded funds) iShares from the reputable company BlackRock. So the portfolio is robustly diversified into thousands of the companies stocks and bonds, which meet strict ESG criteria of the MSCI SRI (Socially Responsible Investment) indices. The control of portfolio volatility stabilises the yield and limits losses during falls on markets when the set algorithm targets volatility at 7% and compares it with the historical volatility of the monitored portfolio. During high volatility this mechanism reduces the exposure to dynamic assets and moves funds to the money market.

How does the Prémiový dluhopis RESPONSIBLE 2 work?

• The yield of the five-year PD RESPONSIBLE 2 depends on the development of the global Solactive ERSTE Green Invest Index VC index.
• The initial value of the underlying asset shall be fixed on 19 November 2020. 
• The underlying asset is observed annually. Every year its value is recorded on the observation date.
• The average value of the underlying asset is calculated from these 5 values obtained during observation. This is compared with its initial value.
• The total amount of the payout at maturity is calculated: 100% of the nominal value of PD RESPONSIBLE 2 + participation of 50% × (average value of 5 observations of the underlying asset/initial value – 1).
• Even with a fall in the underlying asset a minimum of 100% of the nominal value (see Note) of PD RESPONSIBLE 2 is always paid out at maturity thanks to the guarantee.
• In the duration of PD RESPONSIBLE 2 its price may fall even below 100% of its nominal value with regard to the trend in the underlying asset and market conditions.
• The maximum amount of premium is fixed at 40% of the nominal value of the Premium Bond for the duration of PD RESPONSIBLE 2, i.e. for 5 years.
• The regular annual observation and averaging of the obtained index values provides partial protection for investors from any possible sharp fall of prices of the monitored underlying asset just before maturity. The total yield does not just depend on the closing value of the observed underlying asset, but on the continuous value of the underlying asset for the entire duration of PD RESPONSIBLE 2. However regular observations can also decrease the resulting yield (for example, if there is a growth of the underlying asset just before maturity).
