Cash Collect

What are Cash Collect Certificates?

Cash Collect Certificates are financial instruments that can be used to invest in an underlying financial asset such as a stock, an index, a currency, a commodity or an interest rate. The main feature of the Cash Collect Certificates is the payment of a monthly premium over the life of the instrument: fixed monthly premiums for the first months and additional monthly premiums for the remaining periods depending on the performance of the underlying asset up until maturity. At maturity, the investor will receive the issue price of Euro 100 plus the last premium if the underlying asset is equal to or above a specific fixed level (“barrier level”) set at issuance. On the other hand, if the price of underlying asset is below the barrier level , the investor is long in the underlying asset. In case of a downside performance, the Cash Collect Certificate allows an investor to reduce the loss thanks to the fixed premiums paid in the first four months of the certificate’s life.

Who are Cash Collect Certificates suitable for?

This type of certificate is designed for investors with a propensity toward high risk, having an expectation of relative stability, or a moderate rise or fall of the price of a given financial asset. Capital protection is guaranteed as long as the underlying financial asset does not fall below a certain threshold level known as the barrier level; in this case the investor may be subject to significant losses and the final payoff would reflect the performance of the underlying asset.

Operation and pay-off of Cash Collect Certificate

Cash Collect Certificates distribute fixed premiums, regardless of the trend of the underlying financial asset in the first four months of the life of the certificate. The payment of these premiums occurs at pre-established dates, which are determined at the time of the issuance of the certificate. In addition to the fixed premiums, Cash Collect Certificates also provide for the payment of conditional premiums if the value of the underlying financial asset is equal to or above the barrier level at the pre-established dates determined at the time of issuance. There are two possible scenarios at maturity:

the final value of the underlying financial asset is equal to or above the barrier level: in this case, the certificate reimburses the issuance price plus the last premium;
the final value of the underlying financial asset is below the barrier level: in this case, the investor receives a reimbursement correlated with the performance of the underlying asset.

Example of an investment in a Cash Collect Certificate

Let’s assume the UBI Banca Cash Collect Certificate with the following characteristics:

Maturity	1 year
Issue Price	100 €
Initial Evaluation Date	16 January 2017
Initial value of reference	3,284 €
Unconditional and conditional premiums	1,25 €
Payment dates for unconditional premiums	16 February 2017, 16 March 2017, 18 April 2017, 16 May 2017
Payment dates for conditional premiums	16 June 2017, 17 July 2017, 16 August 2017, 18 September 2017, 16 October 2017, 16 November 2017, 16 December 2017, and 16 January 2018
Final Evaluation date	11 January 2018
Conditional premium at maturity	1,25 €
Multiplier	30,45067
Barrier Level	2,463 € (equal to 75% of initial value of reference)

The investor will receive four unconditional monthly premiums of €1.25 on the following dates: 16 February, 16 March, 18 April and 16 May 2017. The Cash Collect Certificate will also pay eight conditional monthly premiums of €1.25 on 16 June, 17 July, 16 August, 18 September, 16 October, 16 November, and 16 December 2017 if the value of the UBI Banca security is equal to or above the barrier level of €2.463. At maturity, on 16 January 2018, there are two possible scenarios for the investor:

If the UBI Banca stock price is equal to or above the barrier level (€2.463), for example at €3.84, the investor will receive the issuance price of €100 plus the conditional premium of €1.25, for a total of €101.25 for each certificate;
If the UBI Banca stock price is below the barrier level (€2.463), for example at €2.34, the investor will not receive the final conditional premium of €1.25 and loses the conditional protection of the capital, thereby incurring a loss. The underlying financial asset’s performance is -28.74%. As a result, for every certificate held, the investor will be paid €71.26.
