Structured Investments
We support our clients’ investment needs with an array of yield enhancement solutions which include Dual Currency Investment (DCI) and Equity Linked Investment (ELI).
What we offer
Dual Currency Investment (DCI) is a Non-Principal Protected Investment linked to a Reference Currency Pair and it is not insured by PIDM. (Perbadanan Insurans Deposit Malaysia)
DCI is a short-term currency-linked investment with potentially higher interest rate return than prevailing fixed deposit. The Investor has the flexibility of selecting their preferred Reference Currency Pair, Strike Rate and Investment Tenor.
On the Maturity Date, Investor may receive Principal Amount and Enhanced Interest Amount in either Base Currency or in Alternate Currency at the pre-agreed strike rate.
Why choose DCI?
- Higher interest rate return.
- Short term investment. (1 week up to 6 months)
- No fees and charges involved.
- Flexibility in selecting your choice of Reference Currency Pair, Strike Price and Investment Tenor.
- Suitable for Investors with investment or personal need of the alternate currency.
- Minimum Principal Amount of RM50,000 or its equivalent in foreign currency.
Who is Eligible Investor?
DCI may only be offered to Eligible Investors as defined in Part I, (1) (a) and (b), Schedule 5 of the Capital Markets and Services Act 2007 (CMSA).
For Individual:
- Total net personal assets, or total net joint assets with his or her spouse, exceed MYR3 million or its equivalent in foreign currencies, excluding the value of the individual’s primary residence,
- Has a gross annual income exceeding MYR300,000 or its equivalent in foreign currencies per annum in the preceding twelve (12) months,
- Jointly with his or her spouse, has a gross annual income exceeding MYR400,000 or its equivalent in foreign currencies per annum in the preceding twelve (12) months, OR
- Total net personal investment portfolio or total net joint investment portfolio with his or her spouse, in any capital market products exceeding MYR1 million or its equivalent in foreign currencies.
For Corporation:
- Total net assets exceeding MYR10 million or its equivalent in foreign currencies based on the last audited accounts.
For Partnership:
- Total net assets exceeding MYR10 million or its equivalent in foreign currencies.
OR
- any person who acquires the unlisted capital market product where the consideration is not less than MYR250,000 or its equivalent in foreign currencies for each transaction whether such amount is paid for in cash otherwise.
What are the key risks?
- Credit Risk/Bank Default Risk
The contract with the Investor represents a general unsecured contractual obligation which will rank equal with other existing and future general contractual obligations. If the Investor wishes to invest in this product, you should be taking note of the Bank’s credit risk and you must therefore make your own assessment of the Bank’s credit risk. The Investor is placing funds with the Bank and is therefore relying on the Bank’s ability to pay any interest and the Principal Amount at maturity. - Market Risk
The market value of this Investment is subject to many factors, including, but not limited to the foreign exchange rate, the level and shape of the relevant interest yield curve, levels of foreign exchange rate volatility and the implied future discretion and liquidity of such factors. - Foreign Exchange Risk
Foreign currency investment is subject to rate fluctuations which may provide both opportunities and risks. The Investor should note that any currency movements may potentially affect the redemption amount. Further, the Investor may experience a loss when he/she reconverts the Alternate Currency amount back to the Base Currency. The Investor should therefore determine whether any foreign currency investment is suitable for him/her in light of his/her investment objectives, his/her financial means and his/her risk profile. - Premature Withdrawal Risk
If the Investment is redeemed by the Investor prior to the Maturity Date, the Investor may LOSE PART or ALL of the Principal Amount invested. - Option Risk
This Investment is combined from many financial instruments, including options. Hence, the delivery of the Alternate Currency of the Principal Amount plus Enhanced Interest Amount is subject to the result of the options embedded in this product.

How does DCI work?*¹
| Choose your preferred Reference Currency Pair | AUD/MYR (Currency1/Currency2) |
| Decide your Principal Amount in Base Currency | MYR100,000 |
| Alternate Currency | AUD |
| (The Base Currency MYR is referred to as Currency 2 in the Reference Currency Pair) | |
| Choose your preferred Investment Tenor | 1 Week (7 days) |
| Set your preferred Strike Rate | 3.2800 -0.0050 = 3.2750 |
| Confirm the DCI Enhanced Interest (%) based on the parameters above | 12.00%p.a. |
Investment Timeline:
Scenario Analysis*¹:
Base Currency is Currency 2 in the Reference Currency Pair (MYR)
Principal Amount plus Enhanced Interest Amount in the Base Currency
= Principal Amount + (Principal Amount * Enhanced Interest * Investment Tenor / day-count)
= MYR100,000.00 + (MYR100,000.00 * 12.00%p.a. * 7 days / 365) = MYR100,230.14
Principal Amount plus Enhanced Interest Amount in the Alternate Currency
= [Principal Amount + (Principal Amount * Enhanced Interest * Investment Tenor / day-count] / Strike Rate
= [MYR100,000.00 + (MYR100,000.00 * 12.00%p.a. * 7 days / 365)] / 3.2750
= MYR100,230.14 / 3.2750 = AUD30,604.62
If the Reference Currency Pair Spot Rate on the Expiry Date at 2PM KL time: 3.2650 and the AUD amount is reconverted at the prevailing exchange rate, the Investor may realize a much lower return compared to 12.00% p.a. and may even realize a negative yield.
= AUD30,604.62 x 3.2650
= MYR99,924.08 (loss of MYR75.92)
*¹ The calculation is for illustration purposes and is based on the parameters above. The scenario analysis is only applicable to DCI with MYR as the base currency.
*² Valuation Price refers to the Reference Currency Pair Spot rate at Valuation Time (at 2PM Kuala Lumpur time) on Expiry Date.

What we offer
Equity Linked Investment (ELI) is a Non-Principal Protected Investment linked to a Reference Equity and it is not insured by PIDM. (Perbadanan Insurans Deposit Malaysia)
ELI is a short-term equity-linked investment with potentially higher interest rate return than prevailing fixed deposit. The Investor has the flexibility of selecting their preferred Reference Equity, Investment Tenor, Strike Level (%) and Strike Price.
On the Maturity Date, Investor may receive Subscription Amount and Enhanced Interest Amount in cash or receive the Reference Equity equivalent to the Subscription Amount in the form of shares. The Enhanced Interest Amount and Odd Lot(s) (if any) will be paid in cash.

- No fees and charges involved.
- Flexibility in selecting your choice of Reference Equity listed on Stock Exchange, Strike Price and Investment Tenor.
- Suitable for Investors who are receptive towards receiving in cash or the Reference Equity.

Who is Eligible Investor?
ELI may only be offered to Eligible Investors as defined in Part I, (1) (a) and (b), Schedule 5 of the Capital Markets and Services Act 2007 (CMSA).
For Individual:
- Total net personal assets, or total net joint assets with his or her spouse, exceed MYR3 million or its equivalent in foreign currencies, excluding the value of the individual’s primary residence,
- Has a gross annual income exceeding MYR300,000 or its equivalent in foreign currencies per annum in the preceding twelve (12) months,

OR
- any person who acquires the unlisted capital market product where the consideration is not less than MYR250,000 or its equivalent in foreign currencies for each transaction whether such amount is paid for in cash otherwise.
What are the key risks?
- Credit Risk/Bank Default Risk
The contract with the Investor represents a general unsecured contractual obligation which will rank equal with other existing and future general contractual obligations. If the Investor wishes to invest in this product, you should be taking note of the Bank’s credit risk and you must therefore make your own assessment of the Bank’s credit risk. Investor is placing funds with the Bank and is therefore relying on the Bank’s ability to pay any interest and the Subscription Amount at maturity. - Market Risk & Liquidity Risk
The market value of this Investment is subject to many factors, including, but not limited to the equity price, levels of equity volatility and the implied future direction and liquidity of such factors. - Premature Withdrawal Risk
If an Investor seeks to withdraw or early redeem the Investment prior to the Maturity Date, the Investor may LOSE PART or ALL of the Subscription Amount invested. The unwinding cost for premature withdrawal is subject to the prevailing market condition. - Equity Risk
Although the shares quantity of the Reference Equity on Maturity date is predetermined at the time of establishment of the Investment, the Investor is subject to the risks of fluctuation in the Reference Equity share price. A decline in the Reference Equity share price on the valuation date relative to the strike price would result in the Bank exercising its right to pay the Investor in the form of Reference Equity shares. The result is that Investor will purchase the Reference Equity shares at a higher price relative to the market price at maturity and could substantially (depending on the decline in the Reference Equity) reduce what the Investor otherwise had at the time invested with the Bank. Any adjustment to the Valuation Price of the Reference Equity shall be rounded down/up to the nearest 1 cent (0.01) at the absolute discretion of the Bank. - Option Risk
This Investment is combined from many financial instruments, including options. Hence, the physical delivery of the Reference Equity based on the pre-agreed Strike Price or delivery by combination of cash and the Reference Equity is subject to the result of the options embedded in this product. - Foreign Exchange Risk
Foreign Currency Investment is subject to rate fluctuations which may provide both opportunities and risks. The Investor should note that any currency movements may potentially affect the redemption amount. Further, the Investor may experience a loss when he/she converts the Foreign Currency back to his/her home currency. The Investor should therefore determine whether any Foreign Currency Investment is suitable for him/her in light of his/her investment objectives, his/her financial means and his/her risk profile.

How does ELI work?*¹
| Choose your preferred Reference Equity | MYEG MK (listed on Bursa Malaysia) |
| Decide the Share Quantity (units) | 354,500 |
| Choose an Investment Tenor | 2 Weeks (14 days) |
| Set the Initial Reference Equity Price (IREP) | 0.735 |
| Decide the preferred Strike Level (%) | 96% of IREP |
| Calculated Strike Price | 0.735 x 96% = 0.7056 |
| Calculated Subscription Amount (Subscription Amount = Share Quantity x Strike Price) |
354,500 x 0.7056 = RM 250,135.20 |
| Confirm the ELI Enhanced Interest (%) based on the parameters above 25.80%p.a. | 25.80%p.a. |
Investment Timeline:
Scenario Analysis*¹:
Subscription Amount plus Enhanced Interest Amount in cash
Investment Amount = Subscription Amount + ([Subscription Amount * Enhanced Interest * Investment Tenor/ day-count])
= MYR250,135.20 + (MYR250,135.20 * 25.80%p.a. * 31 days / 365) = MYR255,616.24
Subscription Amount converted to Reference Equity at pre-agreed Strike Price plus Enhanced Interest Amount and Odd Lot(s)*³ (if any) in cash.
Reference Equity Share Quantity = Subscription Amount / Strike Price
= MYR250,135.20 / 0.7056 = 354,500 units of MYEG MK
Enhanced Interest Amount = [Subscription Amount * Enhanced Interest * Investment Tenor/ day-count]
= MYR250,135.20 * 25.80%p.a. * 31 days / 365 = MYR5,481.04
If the Reference Equity Closing Price on the Expiry Date at 5PM KL time = 0.69 and the MYEG MK shares is reconverted at the prevailing market price, the Investor may realize a much lower return compared to 25.80% p.a. and may even realize a negative yield.
Enhanced Interest Amount = [Subscription Amount * Enhanced Interest * Investment Tenor/ day-count]
= (354,500 units of MYEG MK x 0.69) + MYR5,481.04
= MYR244,605.00 + MYR5,481.04
= MYR 250,086.04 (loss of MYR5,530.20)
*¹ The calculation is for illustration purposes and is based on the parameters above. The scenario analysis is only applicable to DCI with MYR as the base currency.
*² Valuation Price refers to the Official closing price of the Reference Equity on the Stock Exchange at the Valuation Time on Valuation Date
*³ Shares listed on Bursa Malaysia are normally traded in Board Lots of 100 units. Any amount less than Board Lots are referred to as Odd Lots.

What are the key risks?
- Credit Risk/Bank Default Risk
The contract with the Investor represents a general unsecured contractual obligation which will rank equal with other existing and future general contractual obligations. If the Investor wishes to invest in this product, you should be taking note of the Bank’s credit risk and you must therefore make your own assessment of the Bank’s credit risk. The Investor is placing funds with the Bank and is therefore relying on the Bank’s ability to pay any interest and the Principal Amount at maturity. - Market Risk
The market value of this Investment is subject to many factors, including, but not limited to the foreign exchange rate, the level and shape of the relevant interest yield curve, levels of foreign exchange rate volatility and the implied future discretion and liquidity of such factors. - Foreign Exchange Risk
Foreign currency investment is subject to rate fluctuations which may provide both opportunities and risks. The Investor should note that any currency movements may potentially affect the redemption amount. Further, the Investor may experience a loss when he/she reconverts the Alternate Currency amount back to the Base Currency. The Investor should therefore determine whether any foreign currency investment is suitable for him/her in light of his/her investment objectives, his/her financial means and his/her risk profile. - Premature Withdrawal Risk
If the Investment is redeemed by the Investor prior to the Maturity Date, the Investor may LOSE PART or ALL of the Principal Amount invested. - Option Risk
This Investment is combined from many financial instruments, including options. Hence, the delivery of the Alternate Currency of the Principal Amount plus Enhanced Interest Amount is subject to the result of the options embedded in this product.

How does DCI work?*¹
| Choose your preferred Reference Currency Pair | AUD/MYR (Currency1/Currency2) |
| Decide your Principal Amount in Base Currency | MYR100,000 |
| Alternate Currency | AUD |
| (The Base Currency MYR is referred to as Currency 2 in the Reference Currency Pair) | |
| Choose your preferred Investment Tenor | 1 Week (7 days) |
| Set your preferred Strike Rate | 3.2800 -0.0050 = 3.2750 |
| Confirm the DCI Enhanced Interest (%) based on the parameters above | 12.00%p.a. |
Investment Timeline:
Scenario Analysis*¹:
Base Currency is Currency 2 in the Reference Currency Pair (MYR)
Principal Amount plus Enhanced Interest Amount in the Base Currency
= Principal Amount + (Principal Amount * Enhanced Interest * Investment Tenor / day-count)
= MYR100,000.00 + (MYR100,000.00 * 12.00%p.a. * 7 days / 365) = MYR100,230.14
Principal Amount plus Enhanced Interest Amount in the Alternate Currency
= [Principal Amount + (Principal Amount * Enhanced Interest * Investment Tenor / day-count] / Strike Rate
= [MYR100,000.00 + (MYR100,000.00 * 12.00%p.a. * 7 days / 365)] / 3.2750
= MYR100,230.14 / 3.2750 = AUD30,604.62
If the Reference Currency Pair Spot Rate on the Expiry Date at 2PM KL time: 3.2650 and the AUD amount is reconverted at the prevailing exchange rate, the Investor may realize a much lower return compared to 12.00% p.a. and may even realize a negative yield.
= AUD30,604.62 x 3.2650
= MYR99,924.08 (loss of MYR75.92)
*¹ The calculation is for illustration purposes and is based on the parameters above. The scenario analysis is only applicable to DCI with MYR as the base currency.
*² Valuation Price refers to the Reference Currency Pair Spot rate at Valuation Time (at 2PM Kuala Lumpur time) on Expiry Date.

What are the key risks?
- Credit Risk/Bank Default Risk
The contract with the Investor represents a general unsecured contractual obligation which will rank equal with other existing and future general contractual obligations. If the Investor wishes to invest in this product, you should be taking note of the Bank’s credit risk and you must therefore make your own assessment of the Bank’s credit risk. Investor is placing funds with the Bank and is therefore relying on the Bank’s ability to pay any interest and the Subscription Amount at maturity. - Market Risk & Liquidity Risk
The market value of this Investment is subject to many factors, including, but not limited to the equity price, levels of equity volatility and the implied future direction and liquidity of such factors. - Premature Withdrawal Risk
If an Investor seeks to withdraw or early redeem the Investment prior to the Maturity Date, the Investor may LOSE PART or ALL of the Subscription Amount invested. The unwinding cost for premature withdrawal is subject to the prevailing market condition. - Equity Risk
Although the shares quantity of the Reference Equity on Maturity date is predetermined at the time of establishment of the Investment, the Investor is subject to the risks of fluctuation in the Reference Equity share price. A decline in the Reference Equity share price on the valuation date relative to the strike price would result in the Bank exercising its right to pay the Investor in the form of Reference Equity shares. The result is that Investor will purchase the Reference Equity shares at a higher price relative to the market price at maturity and could substantially (depending on the decline in the Reference Equity) reduce what the Investor otherwise had at the time invested with the Bank. Any adjustment to the Valuation Price of the Reference Equity shall be rounded down/up to the nearest 1 cent (0.01) at the absolute discretion of the Bank. - Option Risk
This Investment is combined from many financial instruments, including options. Hence, the physical delivery of the Reference Equity based on the pre-agreed Strike Price or delivery by combination of cash and the Reference Equity is subject to the result of the options embedded in this product. - Foreign Exchange Risk
Foreign Currency Investment is subject to rate fluctuations which may provide both opportunities and risks. The Investor should note that any currency movements may potentially affect the redemption amount. Further, the Investor may experience a loss when he/she converts the Foreign Currency back to his/her home currency. The Investor should therefore determine whether any Foreign Currency Investment is suitable for him/her in light of his/her investment objectives, his/her financial means and his/her risk profile.

How does ELI work?*¹
| Choose your preferred Reference Equity | MYEG MK (listed on Bursa Malaysia) |
| Decide the Share Quantity (units) | 354,500 |
| Choose an Investment Tenor | 2 Weeks (14 days) |
| Set the Initial Reference Equity Price (IREP) | 0.735 |
| Decide the preferred Strike Level (%) | 96% of IREP |
| Calculated Strike Price | 0.735 x 96% = 0.7056 |
| Calculated Subscription Amount (Subscription Amount = Share Quantity x Strike Price) |
354,500 x 0.7056 = RM 250,135.20 |
| Confirm the ELI Enhanced Interest (%) based on the parameters above 25.80%p.a. | 25.80%p.a. |
Investment Timeline:
Scenario Analysis*¹:
Subscription Amount plus Enhanced Interest Amount in cash
Investment Amount = Subscription Amount + ([Subscription Amount * Enhanced Interest * Investment Tenor/ day-count])
= MYR250,135.20 + (MYR250,135.20 * 25.80%p.a. * 31 days / 365) = MYR255,616.24
Subscription Amount converted to Reference Equity at pre-agreed Strike Price plus Enhanced Interest Amount and Odd Lot(s)*³ (if any) in cash.
Reference Equity Share Quantity = Subscription Amount / Strike Price
= MYR250,135.20 / 0.7056 = 354,500 units of MYEG MK
Enhanced Interest Amount = [Subscription Amount * Enhanced Interest * Investment Tenor/ day-count]
= MYR250,135.20 * 25.80%p.a. * 31 days / 365 = MYR5,481.04
If the Reference Equity Closing Price on the Expiry Date at 5PM KL time = 0.69 and the MYEG MK shares is reconverted at the prevailing market price, the Investor may realize a much lower return compared to 25.80% p.a. and may even realize a negative yield.
Enhanced Interest Amount = [Subscription Amount * Enhanced Interest * Investment Tenor/ day-count]
= (354,500 units of MYEG MK x 0.69) + MYR5,481.04
= MYR244,605.00 + MYR5,481.04
= MYR 250,086.04 (loss of MYR5,530.20)
*¹ The calculation is for illustration purposes and is based on the parameters above. The scenario analysis is only applicable to DCI with MYR as the base currency.
*² Valuation Price refers to the Official closing price of the Reference Equity on the Stock Exchange at the Valuation Time on Valuation Date
*³ Shares listed on Bursa Malaysia are normally traded in Board Lots of 100 units. Any amount less than Board Lots are referred to as Odd Lots.
