Knockout Certificates

Knockout certificates are derivative financial instruments that offer investors the opportunity to participate disproportionately in price movements of an underlying asset. These certificates are characterized by a knockout threshold, which, if reached, immediately renders the certificate void and worthless.

What are Knockout Certificates?

Knockout certificates are structured investment products that allow investors to disproportionately benefit from the price movements of an underlying asset. These certificates include a knockout threshold, at which point the certificate immediately expires and the investor loses their entire investment. However, they also offer the potential for high returns if the underlying asset moves in the desired direction.

Risks and Considerations

Despite the attractive features of knockout certificates, investors should also take into account the associated risks and considerations:

Knockout Risk: If the price of the underlying asset reaches the knockout threshold, the certificate expires immediately and the investor loses their entire investment.

Market Risk: The certificate's value is strongly dependent on the performance of the underlying asset, which can lead to unpredictable fluctuations.

Issuer Risk: The risk of the certificate's issuer becoming insolvent cannot be disregarded. Investors should, therefore, carefully assess the issuer's creditworthiness.
