The leverage certificate is a structured financial product that allows for threefold participation in the value development of the Swiss Market Index (SMI). The returns generated by the certificate are therefore three times as great as the returns on the SMI, in the case of both positive and negative returns. The issuer of the certificate is Credit Suisse AG, Zurich. The price fluctuations (volatility) of the SMI is continually monitored. In case of significant volatility, the leverage is reduced and with it the investment risk.
