Contingent Cash Flow 7.4%

Forgive us if we review a bit. This form of security is interesting. The Industry calls them 'Bank Notes'. They are highly time sensitive with the features of a bond including a maturity date but with features of a stock as well.

Notable in this example from June 2017:

  • Semi-annual AutoCall  Linked to S&P/TSX Bank Index
  • 7.4% per Annum contingent Coupon paid semi-annually
  • 20% Contingent Protection at Maturity

This is one of several such hybrid notes. Time sensitive and timely. A downside protection with cash flow potential, contingent upon the underlying index: Bank, Utilities, TSX and more.

Such hybrid notes are demonstrating the value of their design: a contingent protected value, with downside protection to boot.
