HSBC Global Asset Management (Malta) Ltd is offering a new four-year capital protected medium term note aimed for those investors seeking capital protection with potential capital growth.

The HSBC Asia Accelerator (EUR) Note 2012 is designed to protect investors' capital if held until maturity and provide investors with a very attractive participation rate of 100 per cent in the combined growth of the Hang Seng China Enterprise Index, MSCI Taiwan Index and MSCI Singapore Index after four years.

The note also offers the possibility of an early maturity after two years together with a gross return of 20 per cent (equivalent to an annualised return of 9.53 per cent) if the levels of the indices, at the end of the second year, have registered an average combined growth of 20 per cent or more than their initial index level.

As an added advantage, an incentive payment of four per cent per annum is paid pro rata from the date of subscription until the investment actually starts.

This is a limited offer which closes on November 15 or earlier if oversubscribed. Applications can be obtained from any HSBC branch.
