The revival of steel
12M BRC (One Star) on ArcelorMittal, POSCO and Nippon in USD/EUR/CHF
The atmosphere in the steel industry is lightening. It has not been easy the last years for this area which has been further affected by Covid 19. Effective restructurings, higher steel prices as well as increasing demand have actually resulted in positive figures.
Invest in our 12M Barrier Reverse Convertible with a guaranteed coupon and optional One Star Feature in a supply chain steel basket (worst of). This product is equipped with a low Barrier (european). The structure is particularly suitable for investors those a direct investment seems to risky. It is also a great and effective diversification option of your portfolio. To provide additional security mechanisms we construct this product also with the popular One Star Feature.
One Star Feature
Even in case of a barrier event, if the best-of (at least one of the underlyings) ≥ 100% at maturity; redemption = 100%. So the One Star Feature provides a second chance.
The guaranteed coupons exceed the average dividend yields of:
- Nippon Steel Corp (5401 JT) (0.67%)
- Arcelor Mittal SA (MT US) ( - )
- POSCO (PKX US) (2.19%)
significantly and provide also a conditional capital protection
Market opinion:
- weakening prices possible, but not below the barrier level
- sideways trend or slightly rising underlying
