FAQ
1. What is Dual Investment?
Dual Investment is a non-principal protected structured saving product with enhanced yield, involving two different currencies. Upon subscription, you select the underlying asset, the deposit currency, subscription amount, and settlement date. Your return will be denominated in the deposit currency or alternate currency, depending on the below conditions.
There are two types of Dual Investment product: (1) Sell High and (2) Buy Low.
For Sell High product,
In simple terms, this means that if the Fixing Price is above (up) the Target Price, the product is “exercised”.
- the product is “exercised” if Fixing Price ≥ Target Price
- the product is “not exercised” if Fixing Price < Target Price
For Buy Low product,
In simple terms, this means that if the Fixing Price is below (down) the Target Price, the product is “exercised”.
- the product is “exercised” if Fixing Price ≤ Target Price
- the product is “not exercised” if “Fixing Price > Target Price
For both types of Dual Investment products, you will receive the returns in deposit currency if the product is not exercised. You will receive the returns in alternate currency if the product is exercised.
Each subscribed product has a settlement date. We will take the current price at 08:00 (UTC) on the settlement date as the fixing price.
2. What are the benefits of using Dual Investment?
(1) When a product is “exercised”, your subscription amount and interest income will be converted into the alternate currency with a target price as conversion rate. The below formula shows the total amount you will be receiving:
Sell High:
(Subscription Amount * Target Price) * [1 + (APR% * Deposit Days / 365)]
Buy Low:
(Subscription Amount / Target Price) * [1 + (APR% * Deposit Days / 365)]
(2) When a product is “not exercised”, your subscription amount and interest income will not be converted and you will receive in the deposit currency. The below formula shows the total amount you will be receiving:
Subscription Amount * [1 + (APR% * Deposit Days / 365)]
3. When should I use Dual Investment?
The target price is fixed and will not change. Occasionally, we may stop accepting new subscriptions temporarily if a product has a target price too close to the reference current price.
APR is always changing and this is majorly dependent on the target price, remaining deposit days, and also price volatility. Once you have subscribed to a Dual Investment product, the APR will be locked in throughout your deposit days and will not change thereon.
4. How do “Buy Low” and “Sell High” products work?
