Sequoia US EquityHedge Series 2

The Units aim to achieve this by offering leveraged exposure to the negative performance of the Index below the Strike until reaching the Lower Barrier. The Strike is set at 95% of the Index Starting Level on the Commencement Date and the Lower Barrier is expected to be set at 70% of the Index Starting Level on the Commencement Date (see Lower Barrier in the table below for more information). The maximum pay out at Maturity in the best case scenario is 25% (Strike minus Lower Barrier) applied to the full leveraged investment amount before adjusting for any changes in the AUD/USD exchange rate. The inclusion of the Strike and Lower Barrier features in Series 2 enables the investor to benefit from a lower Total Investment Cost as compared to what would be payable in the absence of such features.

The S&P 500 is widely regarded as the best single gauge of large-cap U.S. equities. Created in 1957, the S&P 500 was the first U.S. market cap weighted stock market index. This world-renowned index includes 500 of the top companies in leading industries of the U.S. economy and covers approximately 80% of available market capitalisation.1

Key Risks

• Your return (including any Performance Coupon) is affected by the negative performance of the Index. There is no guarantee that the Index will perform negatively;
• There will be no Performance Coupon payable if the performance of the Index is equal to or above 95% of the Index Starting Level by the Maturity Date. As such, the Index needs to fall by more than 5% by the Maturity Date before any Performance Coupon becomes payable;
• The potential Performance Coupon payable is capped at 25% before adjusting for changes in the AUD/USD exchange rate, due to the application of the Strike and Lower Barrier. Therefore, if the Index falls below the 70% Lower Barrier by Maturity Date, no additional coupon will be payable;
• The Performance Coupon is determined by reference to the Index Starting Level and the Index Closing Level at Maturity as well as changes in the AUD/USD exchange rates in the Investment Term. An increase in the AUD/ USD exchange rate will decrease the Performance Coupon whilst a fall in the AUD/USD exchange rate will increase the Performance Coupon;
• There is no guarantee that the Units will generate returns in excess of the Prepaid Interest and Fees, during the Investment Term. Additionally, in the event of an Investor requested Issuer Buy-Back or Early Maturity Event, you will not receive a refund of your Prepaid Interest or Fees;
• Gains (and losses) may be magnified by the use of a 100% Loan. However, note that the Loan is a limited recourse Loan, so you can never lose more than your Prepaid Interest Amount and Fees paid at Commencement;
• Investors are subject to counterparty credit risk with respect to the Issuer and the Hedge Counterparty; and
• The Units may mature early following an Early Maturity Event, including an Adjustment Event, Market Disruption Event or if the Issuer accepts your request for an Issuer Buy-Back.
