In der Praxis können Anlegern Kosten entstehen, die die Rendite schmälern. Hierzu zählen beispielsweise Depot- oder Transaktionskosten. Wie groß der Einfluss auf die Nettorendite ist, hängt von der Anlagesumme und den tatsächlich beim jeweiligen Anleger anfallenden Kosten ab. Zur konkreten Berechnung können Anleger den Renditerechner verwenden, der unter www.gs.de/renditerechner abrufbar ist und anhand dessen die Auswirkungen der individuellen Depot- und Transaktionskosten auf die Rendite nachgerechnet werden können.

BRL/EUR Exchange Rate
The Brazilian Real (BRL) is a free-floating currency, which is freely tradeable on international currency markets. However, foreign exchange rates may be influenced from time to time by Central Bank intervention. In addition, the Brazilian government may, for a limited period of time, impose restrictions on the remittance to foreign investors of the proceeds of their investments in Brazil and on the conversion of BRL into foreign currencies. There can be no assurance that the Brazilian government will not in the future impose more restrictive foreign exchange regulations. Any (i) measure or intervention under (ii) or change in the relevant exchange control regulations or (iii) implementation of more restrictive exchange control regulations may have an adverse affect on the BRL/EUR Exchange Rate and, consequently, on the Certificates. Changes in the BRL/EUR Exchange Rate may decrease the value of the Certificates and/or the amount of payments under the Certificates. Additionally, the foreign exchange markets have currently been reconstructed and as of 14 March 2005 all foreign exchange transactions in Brazil are now carried out in a single foreign exchange market through authorized financial institutions. The impact of the enactment of any new regulations on the foreign exchange market and, consequently, on the BRL/EUR Exchange Rate cannot be predicted. There can be no assurance that the Brazilian Real will depreciate or appreciate in value in relation to the Euro in the future.

S&P Global Timber & Forestry (Total Return) Index EUR
The S&P Global Timber & Forestry Index is comprised of 25 of the largest publicly traded companies engaged in the ownership, management or the upstream supply chain of forests and timberlands. These companies may be forest products companies, timber REITs, paper products companies, paper packaging companies, or agricultural product companies that are engaged in the ownership, management or the upstream supply chain of forests and timberlands. The index is part of the S&P Global Thematic Indices, which is designed to provide liquid exposure to emerging investment themes that cut across traditional industry definitions and geographical boundaries. The series incorporates a unique selection and weighting scheme that provides diversified and tradable exposure for these themes. Other indices in this series are the S&P Global Alternative Energy Index, the S&P Global Clean Energy Index, the S&P Global Infrastructure Index, the S&P Global Nuclear Energy Index, and the S&P Global Water Index. Index Methodology: The S&P Index Committee follows a set of published guidelines for maintaining the index. Complete details of these guidelines are available on the Web site at www.indices.standardandpoors.com. The index is rebalanced annually on the third Friday of November, when membership and initial constituent weights are set. There are no intra-year index additions, and intra-year deletions occur only because of delistings. Index Membership: • Universe. All publicly listed companies in Standard & Poor’s CapitalIQ (CIQ) database that have the following terms in their business description: Timber, Forest, Lumber, Wood, and/or Plantation. Their primary industry classification based on the Global Industry Classification Standard (GICS®) is considered in assigning exposure scores. • Companies that have a GICS classification of Specialized REITs or Forest Products and are primarily engaged in the ownership or management of forests, timberlands or plantations are given an exposure score of 1.0. • Companies are given an exposure score of 0.5 if they have a GICS classifi cation of Paper Products or Paper Packaging and own or manage timberlands or pulp mills as a captive raw material source or have a GICS classification of Forest Products or Agricultural Products, with timber and forestry being an important but not the principal business. Companies with exposure scores of 1.0 or 0.5 from the universe. • Investable Universe. Stocks from the universe must have a developed market listing or an advance emerging market listing, a market capitalization of at least US$ 250 million, and a 3-month daily value traded of more than US$ 2 million, as of the reference date of the year. • Index Constituents. The largest 25 stocks from the investable universe with an exposure score of 1.0 are selected as index members. If the count of stocks with an exposure score of 1.0 is less than 25, the largest stocks with an exposure score of 0.5 are selected until the count reaches 25. Index Weightings: Constituent weights are driven by size, with no single stock having a weight of more than 8% in the index at each rebalancing. The index follows a modified market capitalization weighted scheme that caps single stock concentration at a predefined percentage, while maintaining greater weight to companies more purely exposed to the timber and forestry theme.

Allgemeine Risiken von Zertifikaten
Wenn Sie ein auf den Internet-Seiten beschriebenes Zertifikat kaufen, erwerben Sie das Recht, von der Goldman, Sachs & Co. Wertpapier GmbH, der Emittentin, unter bestimmten (in den Zertifikatsbedingungen dargestellten) Voraussetzungen die Zahlung eines Geldbetrages zu verlangen. Ein Zertifikat verbrieft allerdings weder ein Recht auf Zinszahlung noch ein Recht auf Dividendenzahlung. Daher wirft ein Zertifikat auch keine laufenden Erträge ab, durch die eventuelle Wertverluste kompensiert werden können.
Die Zertifikate sind Anlageinstrumente, die wirtschaftlich einer Direktinvestition in das zugrundeliegende Instrument (z.B. eine Aktie, ein Aktienkorb, ein Index, eine Anleihe (der „Basiswert“)) ähnlich sind, einer solchen jedoch insbesondere deshalb nicht vollständig vergleichbar sind, weil (i) sie nur auf die Zahlung eines Geldbetrages und nicht auf Lieferung der zugrundeliegenden Aktien gerichtet sind, (ii) die Laufzeit begrenzt ist, (iii) die Abrechnung nur zu dem an einem bestimmten Tag, dem Bewertungstag, bzw. bestimmten Tagen, den Bewertungstagen, gültigen Wert des Basiswertes erfolgt und (iv) die Zertifikatsinhaber keinerlei Ausschüttungen, Bezugsrechte, Steuergutschriften oder ähnliches, die auf die zugrundeliegenden Aktien entfallen, erhalten.
Wenn Sie ein sog. Capped bzw. Discount-Partizipationszertifikat erwerben, ist Ihre Gewinnchance auf einen bestimmten Höchstbetrag begrenzt:
Der Inhaber eines Capped bzw. Discount-Partizipationszertifikats erhält wie der Inhaber eines normalen Partizipationszertifikats einen Geldbetrag, der dem an dem Wert des Basiswertes orientierten Abrechnungskurs entspricht, es sei denn, der Abrechnungskurs liegt über dem Höchstbetrag. In diesem letzteren Fall erhält der Inhaber lediglich den Höchstbetrag ausgezahlt.
Kursänderungen des Basiswertes können den Wert der Zertifikate stark mindern. Angesichts der begrenzten Laufzeit der Zertifikate kann nicht darauf vertraut werden, dass sich der Preis der Zertifikate rechtzeitig wieder erholen wird. Dann besteht das Risiko des Verlusts des gezahlten Kaufpreises einschließlich der mit dem Kauf verbundenen Kosten, und zwar unabhängig von der finanziellen Leistungsfähigkeit der Emittentin. Kursänderungen des Basiswertes und damit der Zertifikate können u.a. auch dadurch entstehen, dass durch Unternehmen der Goldman Sachs-Gruppe Absicherungsgeschäfte oder sonstige Geschäfte in dem Basiswert oder bezogen auf den Basiswert getätigt werden.
Der Preis der Zertifikate kann bei entsprechender Nachfrage auch erheblich über dem inneren Wert der Zertifikate liegen. Daher sollten Sie sich vor dem Kauf der Zertifikate über den Kurs des Basiswerts informieren und Kaufaufträge mit angemessenen Preisgrenzen versehen.
Wenn Ihr Zertifikat sich auf einen in Fremdwährung notierten Basiswert bezieht, hängt seine Wertentwicklung nicht allein vom Kurs des Basiswertes, sondern auch von der Entwicklung der Fremdwährung ab. Ungünstige Bewegungen an den Währungsmärkten können dann das Verlustrisiko erhöhen. Kosten, die beim Kauf oder Verkauf des Zertifikats anfallen, vermindern die mit dem Zertifikat verbundene Gewinnchance. Dies ist dann besonders signifikant, wenn der Auftragswert gering ist. Informieren Sie sich deshalb vor Erwerb des Zertifikats über alle bei Kauf und Verkauf anfallenden Kosten.
Während der Laufzeit des Zertifikats können nicht immer Geschäfte abgeschlossen werden, durch die Ihre anfänglichen Risiken ausgeschlossen oder wenigstens eingeschränkt werden. Dies hängt von den Marktbedingungen ab und kann eventuell nur zu einem ungünstigeren Marktpreis geschehen. Auch hierdurch kann ein Verlust entstehen.
Wenn Sie den Erwerb der Zertifikate mit Kredit finanzieren, müssen Sie beim Nichteintritt Ihrer Erwartungen nicht nur den eingetretenen Verlust hinnehmen, sondern auch den Kredit verzinsen und zurückzahlen. Dadurch erhöht sich Ihr Verlustrisiko erheblich.
Diese Informationen ersetzen nicht die in jedem individuellen Fall unerlässliche Beratung durch Ihre Bank oder Ihren Finanzberater.
Allgemeine Risiken von Optionsscheinen
Wenn Sie einen der auf den Internet-Seiten beschriebenen Optionsscheine kaufen, erwerben Sie das Recht, von der Goldman, Sachs & Co. Wertpapier GmbH, der Emittentin, unter bestimmten (in den Optionsscheinbedingungen dargestellten) Voraussetzungen die Zahlung eines Geldbetrages zu verlangen.
Es wird weder ein Recht auf Zinszahlung noch ein Recht auf Dividendenzahlung verbrieft. Daher wirft ein Optionsschein auch keine laufenden Erträge ab, durch die eventuelle Wertverluste kompensiert werden können.
Optionsscheine sind besonders risikoreiche Wertpapiere. Verantwortlich dafür ist eine Reihe von Faktoren, von denen einige nachstehend aufgeführt werden:
Aufgrund der Hebelwirkung können Kursänderungen des dem Optionsschein zugrunde liegenden Instruments (z.B. eine Aktie, ein Aktienkorb, ein Index, eine Anleihe, eine Währung etc., der „Basiswert“) den Wert des Optionsscheins überproportional bis hin zur Wertlosigkeit mindern. Angesichts der begrenzten Laufzeit des Optionsscheins kann nicht darauf vertraut werden, dass sich der Preis des Optionsscheins rechtzeitig wieder erholen wird. Dann besteht das Risiko des teilweisen oder vollständigen Verlusts der gezahlten Optionsprämie einschließlich der mit dem Kauf verbundenen Kosten, und zwar unabhängig von der finanziellen Leistungsfähigkeit der Emittentin.
Kursänderungen des Basiswertes und damit des Optionsscheins können unter anderem auch dadurch entstehen, dass durch Unternehmen der Goldman Sachs-Gruppe Absicherungsgeschäfte oder sonstige Geschäfte in dem Basiswert oder bezogen auf den Basiswert getätigt werden.
Verzichten Sie während der Laufzeit auf die Ausübung eines Optionsscheins oder wird dieser am Verfalltag nicht automatisch ausgeübt, so wird er mit Ablauf seiner Laufzeit wertlos. Auch in diesem Fall besteht, unabhängig von der finanziellen Leistungsfähigkeit des Emittenten, das Risiko des vollständigen Verlustes.
Wenn Ihr Optionsschein sich auf einen in Fremdwährung notierten Basiswert bezieht, hängt seine Wertentwicklung nicht allein vom Kurs des Basiswerts, sondern auch von der Entwicklung der Fremdwährung ab. Ungünstige Bewegungen an den Währungsmärkten können dann das Verlustrisiko erhöhen.
Kosten, die beim Kauf oder Verkauf des Optionsscheins anfallen, vermindern die mit dem Optionsschein verbundene Gewinnchance. Dies ist dann besonders signifikant, wenn der Auftragswert gering ist. Informieren Sie sich deshalb vor Erwerb des Optionsscheins über alle bei Kauf und Verkauf anfallenden Kosten.
Während der Laufzeit des Optionsscheins können nicht immer Geschäfte abgeschlossen werden, durch die Ihre anfänglichen Risiken ausgeschlossen oder wenigstens eingeschränkt werden. Dies hängt von den Marktbedingungen ab und kann eventuell nur zu einem ungünstigeren Marktpreis geschehen. Auch hierdurch kann ein Verlust entstehen.
Wenn Sie den Erwerb der Optionsscheine mit Kredit finanzieren, müssen Sie beim Nichteintritt Ihrer Erwartungen nicht nur den eingetretenen Verlust hinnehmen, sondern auch den Kredit verzinsen und zurückzahlen. Dadurch erhöht sich Ihr Verlustrisiko erheblich.
