Why the Yield Enhancer Investment?
• Potential to lock in an attractive Enhanced Return each year, payable at maturity, subject to the performance of the
Indices.
• Potential to earn an Enhanced Return even in falling markets.
• Full capital protection on maturity as long as none of the Indices have fallen by more than 40%.
• Diversify your investment portfolio away from more traditional “long only” investment strategies that rely on positive
markets to deliver growth.
• Exposure to offshore equity markets without having exposure to any foreign exchange rates.
• Depending on your own facts and circumstances, investing via a Policy can be more tax-efficient.

Maturity Date.
• Are able to commit your money for five years – any returns payable are paid after the Maturity Date only.

6. How the investment works
• The Initial Index Level of each of the three Indices is recorded on the Investment Start Date.
• The closing level of each of the three Indices is recorded on each Annual Observation Date.
• If the closing level of any of the three Indices recorded on an Annual Observation Date is at or above the Barrier
Level, then an Enhanced Return will be locked in for that year.
• Investors will receive the sum of the Enhanced Returns earned each year at maturity, plus 100% of their Investment
Amount back, provided that none of the Indices have fallen below the Barrier Level.
• If one or more of the Indices have fallen by more than 40% at the Maturity Date, investors will receive the sum of the
Enhanced Returns locked in, but their capital repayment will be reduced by the percentage by which the Final Index
Level of the worst-performing Index is lower than the Initial Index Level.

7. Hypothetical scenarios:
Scenario 1 –
Rising markets
• None of the Indices have been
below the Barrier Level
• The Investment locked in an
Enhanced Return of 12% on all
five Annual Observation Dates
• Investors receive back 160% of
their Investment Amount at
maturity.

8. Hypothetical scenarios:
Scenario 2 – Generally
falling markets
• None of the Indices have been
below the Barrier Level
• The Investment locked in an
Enhanced Return of 12% on all
five Annual Observation Dates
• Investors receive back 160% of
their Investment Amount.

9. Hypothetical scenarios:
Scenario 3 – Initially
falling, then rising
markets
• One of the three Indices were
below the Barrier Level on Year
2 and Year 3 of the Annual
Observation Dates
• The Investment locked in an
Enhanced Return on three
Annual Observation Dates
• The Barrier Level was breached
towards the end of year two but
recovered to be above where it
started
by the Maturity Date
• Investors receive back 136% of
their Investment Amount at
maturity.

10. Hypothetical scenarios:
Scenario 4 – Falling markets
and breaching the Barrier Level
• The Indices has been above the
Barrier Level on four of the five
Annual Observation Dates
• The Barrier was breached towards
the end of the Investment Term
and the Final Index Level was
below the Barrier Level
• One of the Indices has fallen by
50% over the Investment term
• Investors receive a 48% Enhanced
Return, but suffer a capital loss of
50% (loss is equal to the
percentage Index loss) – these are
set off against each other
• Investors receive back 98% of their
Investment Amount (i.e. a 2%
capital loss).

19. The Index
• The Credit Suisse GEM 10% Risk Control Index
• The Index designed in collaboration between Absa and Credit Suisse
• Index consists a long-only portfolio of global equities (the “Equity Component”, or “Equity
Portfolio”) and US treasuries through futures (the “Fixed Income Component”).
• The Equity Component is rebalanced on a quarterly basis and selected from global developed
equity markets, including the US, Europe and Australasia.
• Exposure to the Equity Portfolio will be based on its observed volatility. If its observed volatility is
lower than 10%, the Index will allocate more than 100% to the Equity Portfolio, subject to a limit
of 150%.
• Conversely, the Index will lower its exposure to the Equity Portfolio as its volatility increases.
