Berkshire Launch Series 46 – Key Risks

Key risks include:

• Your return (including any Coupons) is affected by the performance of the Reference Asset (Berkshire Hathaway Inc Class B Shares). There is no guarantee that the Reference Asset will perform well.
• The Units have varying levels of exposure to the Reference Asset depending on volatility due to the variable Participation Rate. It operates by varying the exposure that the Units will have to the Reference Asset depending on the Realised Volatility of the Berkshire Hathaway Inc Class B Shares and the Target Volatility. There is the risk that the Participation Rate could drop to significantly below 100% during the Investment Term in which case Investors will not gain the full benefits of an increase of the value of the Reference Asset.
• Investors should note that there is a lag in measuring the Realised Volatility of the Reference Asset. This means that where there has been a period of high Realised Volatility, the Investor’s exposure to the Reference Asset will be low, regardless of whether the Reference Asset is performing positively or negatively.
• There will be no Performance Coupons payable if the performance of the Strategy Value is negative at a Coupon Determination Date.
• The two potential Performance Coupons and the Final Coupon are determined by reference to the Initial Strategy Value, the Strategy Value on the relevant Coupon Determination Dates and the Final Strategy Value as well as changes in the AUD exchange rate. An increase in the AUD/USD exchange rate between the relevant dates will reduce the Performance Coupons and Final Coupon whilst a decrease in the AUD/USD rate between the relevant dates will lead to an increase in the Performance Coupons and Final Coupon;
• The Initial Strategy Value and Final Strategy Value are subject to averaging. Averaging may decrease the impact of an increase in the Reference Asset during the Investment Term.
• There is no guarantee that the Units will generate returns in excess of the Prepaid Interest and Fees, during the Investment Term. Additionally, in the event of an Investor requested Issuer Buy-Back or an Early Maturity Event you will not receive a refund of your Prepaid Interest or Fees.
• Gains (and losses) may be magnified by the use of a 100% Loan. However, note that the Loan is a limited recourse Loan, so you will never be required to pay more than the Prepaid Interest Amount and Fees at Commencement.
• Investors are subject to counterparty credit risk with respect to the Issuer and the Hedge Counterparty;
• Gains and losses may be magnified by the use of a 100% limited recourse Loan; and
• the Units may mature early following an Early Maturity Event, including an Adjustment Event, Market Disruption Event or if the Issuer accepts your request for an Issuer Buy-Back.
