Grading guidelines: Compose a journal assignment of at least two paragraphs as a Word document with double spacing, 12-point Times New Roman font, and one-inch margins. Your journal assignments must follow APA formatting guidelines.
Visit the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics' website, specifically the pages on Social and Human Service Assistants and Community and Social Service Occupations. Also visit the What Is Human Services? page of the National Organization for Human Services.
· In a journal posting, share what type of agency you might be interested in working for and what type of human services network (e.g., community resources) you would need to familiarize yourself with in order to address the needs of your clients.
· How would you develop this network? For example, if you wanted to work in a Head Start program for children ages 3–4, parents would probably ask you for resources that cover medical care, food, housing, and clothing.
MBA 705 Final Project Guidelines and Rubric
Overview
For the capstone assessment, you will create a business implementation plan and audiovisual presentation for the product, service, or idea you have been
developing throughout your MBA coursework. You will be assessed through two artifacts. The first will be a business implementation plan, detailing the concept
and proposed implementation for potential investors or senior managers. The second artifact will be an audiovisual presentation designed to pitch the concept
(including implementation) to the same audience.
To effectively respond to the demands of a rapidly evolving business environment, today’s business managers need to possess a solid grounding in the theory,
best practices, and approaches that drive internal decision-making as well as the various external factors that can impact business choices. Perhaps no function
encompasses as many of these critical skills as ushering a new business idea, product, or service from initial conception to implementation. Throughout your
MBA coursework, you have been working to develop a business concept (product, service, or idea), considering the different elements that impact decision
making and creating a business plan for moving the concept forward successfully. As the final step in your journey toward your Master of Business Administration
degree, your capstone will bring all that work to the doorstep of implementation through the creation of a business implementation plan and an audiovisual
presentation designed to present the idea to potential investors or senior managers. You will integrate the knowledge and skills you have developed in previous
coursework and over the duration of the term with the goal of having a “ready to launch” project that you can present to an employer or potential financial
backer moving forward.

History
I am Emma K Norton, trading as EKN Design.
I have years of experience working in design
across diverse industries. My expertise lies
in designing graphics, layouts and proof-
reading documents.
Alongside my employed graphic design
work with architects, financial institutions and
advertisers, I spend a lot of time painting,
designing and creating artworks of my own.
I have a Bachelor’s degree in Ergonomics
(‘human-centred design’ or ‘the science
of usability’) which gives me a great
appreciation of how limitations of the human
user impose restrictions on design. This
mindset provokes me to create accessible
design. For example; the distance at which
a certain font size can be easily read must
be considered when designing marketing
materials to be read from afar.
My interest in art and design began at a
very early age when, as a youngster, I was
unable to put down my crayons, pencils,
paintbrushes and, later, my Mac.
I am empassioned by my desire to create
aesthetic yet practical design.

STRUCTURED PRODUCT RESEARCH
Methodology
This information is for financial advisers only and should not be presented to,or relied upon,by private investors.
Please visit www.incisiv.com if you would like to find out more.

Incisiv Structured Product Research offers clear and fair
quantitative research on retail structured products
STRUCTURED PRODUCT RESEARCH

Introduction
Product Analysis
Our primary aim is to give advisers and investors an indication
of the risk and return that a product offers. Our analysis allows
products to be filtered to identify a short list of products that
may be suitable, and then ranked using a number of different
measures to help identify the product that best meets the
investor’s requirements.
We measure risk and return using historical data only:
l We use publicly available data that is available through
external sources such as Bloomberg
l Our analysis is fully transparent, objective and easily
verifiable
l There is no need for specialist derivatives knowledge
l We are not required to make any assumptions, estimates
or judgements
We use straightforward methodologies, applied consistently
across all products
l We offer clear analysis of the risks and returns a product
offers
l Our analysis makes product comparison straightforward;
investors are easily able to compare products from one
issuer with another or products that offer exposure to
different underlying markets
l There is no need for specialist statistical or mathematical
knowledge to understand the analysis
l Our analysis is consistent with the risk information
offered by funds in their Key Investor Information
Documents (KIIDs)
l Our analysis is consistent with the main financial planning
tools and processes
For each product, we offer an online analysis and we create
an Adviser Briefing Document (ABD) as a PDF that can be
downloaded from our web site.This document is created
when the product is first available to investors. Both the online
analysis and ABD are subsequently updated on a regular basis
throughout the term of the product. Up to date analysis will
reflect the current product price and the latest levels of the
underlying assets.
Multiple scenarios
We test products under 3 different scenarios
l Historic Back-test; an analysis of the risks and returns
offered by a product that uses the actual past
performance of the underlying assets
l Future Stress-test; the same analysis but on multiple
resampled paths of the historical returns of the
underlying data
l Credit Adjusted Future Stress-test; an adjusted Future
Stress-test where the risks and returns are adjusted to
reflect the possibility of the issuer defaulting
STRUCTURED PRODUCT RESEARCH

HISTORIC BACKTEST METHODOLOGY
We use daily closing levels of a product’s underlying(s) as far
back as possible to analyse the returns that a product would
have offered had it been available in the past.
To illustrate, we describe how on 26th July 2013 we back-
tested a FTSE100 6 year autocall with annual kick-outs from
Year 2 and a 50% American soft protection barrier; FTSE100
price data is available on Bloomberg from 3rd January 1984:
l the first 6-year cycle we look at is therefore 3rd January
1984 to 3rd January 1990
l the second is 4th January 1984 to 4th January 1990 and
so on, each cycle starting and ending on a trading day
l the last cycle is 26th July 2007 to 26th July 2013 as this is
the last complete 6 year term
l There are 5971 such cycles
For each cycle, we first check if the product would have
kicked out inYear 2. If so, it is recorded as aYear 2 early
maturity and no further analysis is needed for that cycle. If not,
we then check if it would have kicked out inYear 3 and so on
through toYear 6.
We cannot select cycles starting later than 26th July 2007 as
the six year term would not have been completed.This is the
case even when we know that on some of those occasions
the product would have matured early.To include such cycles
would be to “cherry pick” as only those that had matured
early would be included; cycles where the product would not
yet have matured and which could end in a capital loss would
be left out and therefore would present a misleading result.
We can then analyse the outcomes and record how many
of the 5971 cycles would have resulted in aYear 2 kick out,
Year 3 kick out,Year 4 kick out,Year 5 kick out,Year 6 growth
payment, a maturity payment equal to the capital invested or a
capital loss at maturity.
The results can be presented as a percentage of the
population of 5971 cycles. For example, there were 4710Year
2 kick outs, which is 78.9% of the 5971 possible start dates;
there were 56 occasions where a capital loss occurred – 0.9%
of the possible start dates.
The same principles can be applied to other structures. For
example, with the same basic product shape linked to the
FTSE 100 and S&P 500 indices, we would start from the
earliest common data date for both indices, which is 3rd
January 1984.Although the time span is the same, there will
be fewer observations, as the back-test can only use a start
date when both indices are quoted. For example, a FTSE only
product could start on 4th July but, as US markets are closed
on 4th July, a FTSE/S&P product could not have done.
Our research is not restricted to fixed start dates however. It
will facilitate a time period of the user’s choosing. For example,
if an analyst were to assume that only the last 10 years of data
were relevant, on our site they could set the start date to
reflect only this period of data.The number of cycles would
then be reduced to only the last 10 years.

EXPECTED RETURN
The expected return is the annualised expected return
obtained from each of the 3 scenarios. For example, an
expected return of 41.85% after 6 years is the equivalent
of 6% per annum (1.06^6 = 41.85%). But for kick-outs, the
payoff P can occur at different timesT and with an associated
probability.The return is therefore calculated as an annualised
return
exp(ln(∑tptPt)/∑tptTt) – 1
where: Pt is the expected payoff2 at time t (the average payoff
for all product instances that matured at time t)
Tt is the time-to-payoff at time t, in years
pt is the probability of maturity at time t (the number
of product instances that matured at time t divided
by the total number of product instances)
The expected return reflects all of the outcomes, good and bad,
that the product has delivered under each scenario.As such it is
a good reflection of the return that the product will offer.

This brochure explains the features of the Plan. Please ensure that you read this document fully prior to making
an investment. Meteor does not provide financial advice. We recommend that you talk to a financial adviser
who will be able to help you assess whether the Plan is suitable for you. You should conduct such independent
investigation and analysis of the tax treatment of an investment as you feel appropriate, to evaluate the merits
and risks of an investment in the Plan. The information on taxation contained in the brochure is based on our
understanding of rates of tax, current legislation, regulations and practice, which are likely to change in the
future and which may be applied retrospectively.

Investment
Options
(‘the Options’)
Option 1
If, on any six-monthly Measurement Date, the closing levels of both Indices are at least equal to their
Opening Levels, the Plan will accrue a gross interest payment of 3%, payable at maturity. If, on a six-
monthly Measurement Date, the close of business level of one or both Indices is below its Opening
Level, no interest payment will be accrued for that six month period. If the closing levels of both
Indices are never lower than their Opening Levels on any of the Measurement Dates, then the Plan
will provide a gross interest payment at the Maturity Date equal to 36% of the money you invest. The
first Measurement Date will be on 30 January 2015.
Option 2
If, on any six-monthly Measurement Date, the closing levels of both Indices are at least equal to 90%
of their Opening Levels, the Plan will accrue a gross interest payment of 2%, payable at maturity. If,
on a six-monthly Measurement Date, the close of business level of one or both Indices is below 90%
of its Opening Level, no interest payment will be accrued for that six month period. If the closing
levels of both Indices are never lower than their Opening Levels on any of the Measurement Dates,
then the Plan will provide a gross interest payment at the Maturity Date equal to 24% of the money
you invest. The first Measurement Date will be on 30 January 2015.
Tax treatment It is our understanding that any interest payable from a direct investment by individuals or Trusts into
this Plan is expected to be subject to Income Tax (see page 8).
Available for n Individual or joint applications
n Cash ISAs or New ISAs (NISAs) in respect of the 2014/15 tax year
n ISA/NISA transfers
n Pension schemes
n Trustees, companies and partnerships
n Investment via an Offshore Bond
This Plan is not available to residents of the United States or Canada
The Deposit Your money will be deposited with Royal Bank of Canada (London Branch), hereafter referred to as
‘RBC’, through a bare trust. A bare trust is an arrangement which allows the Plan Manager to act on
behalf of investors in relation to their deposit. The Deposit is effectively a loan to RBC and repayment will
depend on the ability of RBC to pay the amounts due to us.
Meteor
distribution fee
We will receive a distribution fee of up to 2.6%. We use this fee to cover our costs for the preparation
of the Plan literature and information, as well as marketing the Plan. We also use this fee to offset
standard administration charges that would otherwise have been payable. This fee may also be used
to cover payments to introducers, where necessary.

Key Risks
Risk to interest payment
n Any interest accrued will be
dependent on the performance of
the Indices and it is possible that you
might not receive any interest at all.
Access to your deposit
n If your circumstances change and
you need to withdraw from the
fixed term Deposit prior to the
Maturity Date, it is likely you will not
receive back all of the amount you
originally deposited in the Plan. In
this event, you will also have to pay
an administration charge. Please note
that there is no guarantee that RBC
Capital Markets LLC (the Calculation
Agent of the Deposit) will provide
pricing.
n In normal market conditions, it is
expected that the Calculation Agent
will provide pricing of the Deposit
for investors who need access to
their deposit before the Maturity
Date. However, there is no guarantee
that you will be able to withdraw
the Deposit before the Maturity
Date as the decision about whether
market conditions are normal will be
taken by the Calculation Agent (see
Liquidity risks).
n If you decide to withdraw the
Deposit before maturity you could
get less back than you invested in the
Plan.
Counterparty risk
n It is possible that RBC could collapse
or fail to make the payments due
from the Deposit. If this happened
you could lose some, or all, of the
amount you deposit, as well as any
interest to which you otherwise
might have become entitled. This is
subject to your potential eligibility
for compensation from the FSCS.
n The actual and perceived ability
of RBC to meet its obligations
may affect the market value of an
investment over the term. If RBC
fails to meet its obligations, you will
get back less than is due to you or
nothing at all.
The risks associated with this Plan are not limited to those listed here, but these are the key risks. Further risks are
outlined on pages 16 and 17.
FTSE® / STOXX Accumulator Deposit Plan July 2014 PAGE 3
The return from the Plan is linked to
a fixed term structured deposit (the
Deposit), commencing on 31 July 2014
and ending on 31 July 2020.
An investment in the Plan constitutes
a contractual arrangement with
Meteor Asset Management Limited,
the Plan Manager. Meteor Investment
Management Limited (MIM) is the Plan
Administrator for the Plan. We will arrange
for your money to be deposited with the
Deposit Taker through a bare trust. A bare
trust is an arrangement, which allows the
Plan Manager to act on behalf of investors
in relation to their deposit. The Deposit
Taker is Royal Bank of Canada, acting
through its London Branch, otherwise
known as the Counterparty.
The Deposit is arranged to pay interest
in accordance with the investment
objectives of the Plan.
Option 1 of the Plan has been designed
to provide a potential interest payment
for every six months the Plan has been in
force, provided the closing levels of both
Indices, at any Measurement Date, are at
least equal to their respective Opening
Levels. In this case, the Plan will accrue
an interest payment of 3% for that six
month period, which is payable at the
Maturity Date (see page 6).
Option 2 of the Plan has again been
designed to provide a potential interest
payment for every six months the
Plan has been in force, provided the
closing levels of both Indices, at any
Measurement Date, are at least equal
to 90% of their respective Opening
Levels. In this case, the Plan will accrue
an investment return of 2% for that six
month period, which is payable at the
Maturity Date (see page 7).
The return of the amount deposited
is not dependent on the performance
of the Indices and is protected from
falls in the Indices. However, the risk to
capital has not been eliminated as the
repayment of the amount you deposit in
the Plan is dependent on RBC being able
to pay the amounts due from the Plan.
The investment return from the Plan
is linked to the performance of the
Indices (see page 11). Neither the Plan
nor the underlying Deposit track the
Indices directly but offer the potential
for an enhanced return on your Deposit
compared to the actual performance of
the Indices.
Meteor Asset Management Limited
acts as Bare Trustee of the trust and
holds the Deposits for the benefit of the
individual investors. Meteor will provide
information to RBC to confirm the
identity of the individual investors who
are the beneficial owners and, as such,
are entitled to the proceeds.
The Deposit is effectively a loan to RBC
and repayment will depend on the
ability of RBC to pay the amounts due to
us. This is known as Counterparty Risk.
The Plan is available to individuals as
a 2014/15 cash NISA or direct deposit.
It is also available to pension funds,
companies and charities., as well as
through Offshore Life Assurance Bonds.
The trade-off for the potentially
enhanced return is that if the Indices
were to increase by more than any
interest payment you may receive, you
would not benefit from any interest
payable above that provided by the Plan.
In addition, you should also understand
that you will not be entitled to receive
the dividends that would normally be
available if you had invested directly in
the Indices.
If the Plan is oversubscribed we may not
be able to accept your application.

The Opportunity
Of the top one hundred companies
from one hundred years ago, only one
survives today. Despite being the best of
their time and focused in their respective
fields history has shown that on the
whole they were not sustainable. Today
the pace of life is much faster, with what
took ten years then often being achieved
in one year, or less, today.
With demographics changing rapidly,
the need for innovative solutions to
fully utilise all of the global resources
available is becoming ever more
necessary, with consumers demanding
products that are renewable, recycled
or from sustainable sources. As a result
sustainability in today’s world of rapid
change is vital for secure investments,
even more so when almost every aspect
of human life comes up against our
planets limited natural resources.
Investing in the future means investing
in sustainable projects and that requires
investment managers with knowledge
and understanding.
Unlike one hundred years ago,
companies today must be aware of
the diversified nature of their local and
global environments.

The Solution
At a time when traditional investment
models have become increasingly
volatile, often underperforming against
investors’ aspirations, alternative
investment solutions that are sustainable
are becoming ever more important as
part of a balanced portfolio. This theory
of sustainability also applies to the wider
theory of economic development and
requires ethical consumerism to ensure
the alignment of people, the planet and
profit.
With this in mind, the time has arrived
for a sustainable investment strategy,
which adopts a different approach
by engaging with the environment
with the aim of generating returns
uncorrelated to traditional asset classes.
Accordingly the Diversified Earth Fund
(‘The Fund’) is designed for investors
looking to generate attractive levels of
investment returns, whilst looking to
benefit global welfare through projects
that address basic human needs, such
as water, energy, food, waste, shelter,
health, education and employment.
The Fund has successfully brought
together a team of leading financial,
sustainability and commercial
experts, with experience of investing
in technologies and projects that
will support a global low carbon
future. With the need for the journey
to sustainable evolution becoming
ever more pressing, we believe a
systematic approach which looks
for interconnected opportunities
will enhance both economic and
sustainable outcomes.
Always aware of the need for
diversification, both from a
methodology and geographical
viewpoint, the Fund will invest in a
broad range of projects across both
developed and developing countries in
the search for investment in appropriate
innovation. With a mandate to focus
on green technology and innovation
that can be leveraged, scalable and
incremental in scope and impact, the
key features of the Fund are:
• Commercially viable investments
which provide long term
sustainable protection for the
planet and its people, and which
are scalable and/or replicable.
• An Open-ended Fund with
sub-Funds for developing and
developed world projects; suitable
for institutional and high net worth
investors.
• Target projects funding
requirements will be in the £1m to
£20m range.
• Start-ups considered with strong
management teams or first class
technologies.
• Yet to be proven technologies
considered as part of the diversity
of the portfolio.
• The Fund’s project management
team has a wealth of relevant
experience and expertise and
is engaged to initiate, assess,
implement and monitor
investments.
• Fund objectives are to provide
income over the longer term
with capital appreciation, whilst
meeting ethical, social and
environmental objectives.
• Independent Investment
Committee of experts across a
range of disciplines.
Page 4
Prior to any investment being
undertaken we will work closely
with the Funds advisers BE Capital
Partners (BECP) to identify and assess
the investment merits of each project.
BECP will then carry out a detailed
review of each project providing
recommendations, based on extensive
due diligence, to an Investment
Committee of experienced and suitably
qualified people who will assist us in
the investment decisions to be made.
This will process will include:
• Identification of prospective
projects/businesses requiring
investment;
• Research and due diligence into
each prospective project; technical,
commercial, environmental and
financial;
• Structuring the proposed
investment to meet the needs
of the project and ensuring the
potential returns reflect the risks
for the Fund;
• Preparing the investment paper for
the Investment Committee.
Once selected and the necessary legal
due diligence is completed assistance
will be given with shareholders
agreements, service contracts etc with
a view to minimising transaction costs
for the Fund by streamlining such
procedures. On an ongoing basis each
project will be subject to a rigorous
ongoing monitoring programme,
carried out on behalf of the Fund by a
team from BECP who will be experts in
the relevant field. This will include:
• Ongoing monitoring services on
all investments through a stringent
review of monthly management
information and periodic visits;
• Technical and/or mentoring
support, as required, to improve
the performance of investee
companies and in particular where
innovation is at the heart of the
project or business;
• Regular investment summaries and
commentary to ensure the Fund
criteria continue to met thereby
ensuring the investment process
remains dynamic and appropriate.

If Credit Suisse AG fail to meet their obligations to pay to us the
amount due from the Securities and you lose the money you
invest in the Plan or any income payments to which you would
otherwise have become entitled, you will not, for this reason
alone, be entitled to compensation from the Financial Services
Compensation Scheme (FSCS).
Meteor Asset Management Limited and Meteor Investment
Management Limited are covered by the FSCS and you may be
entitled to compensation from the FSCS in the event that we are
declared to be ‘in default’ and you have suffered a loss as a result
of Meteor’s actions or negligence.
We currently use HSBC and Coutts to hold client money.You
may be eligible to make a claim if either bank, or any other bank
we may use in the future, becomes insolvent whilst holding
your money prior to the purchase of the Securities, or pending
payment to you of the amounts received at the maturity or earlier
redemption of the Securities. In this event, the compensation limit
is currently £85,000 per person and this applies to all deposits
you hold with the insolvent bank and any other member of its
group.You would not be covered for any excess amount over the
compensation limit.
Meteor Asset Management Limited and Meteor Investment
Management Limited are covered by the FSCS and you may be
entitled to compensation from the FSCS in the event that we are
declared to be ‘in default’ and you have suffered a loss as a result
of Meteor’s actions or negligence. In this event, the compensation
limit is currently £50,000 per person. If the level of your claim
against us is greater than £50,000 you would not be covered for
the excess.
Many banking groups use several brands, which means the total
deposits within a group will count towards one compensation
limit.You can look up details of banking and savings groups on the

About Credit Suisse AG
The security of your investment depends on the creditworthiness
of Credit Suisse. It is possible that Credit Suisse could collapse or
fail to make payments due from the Plan. If this happened you
would lose some or all of your original capital as well as any growth
payments to which you might otherwise have become entitled.
One of the factors we take into account when selecting a
counterparty is its long term credit ratings.These are the
opinions of a range of credit rating agencies regarding the long
term security of the counterparty.
A high rating from one or more of the credit rating agencies
is not however a guarantee that Credit Suisse will meet its
obligation to pay the amount due from the Plan.
Fitch, Moody’s and Standard & Poor’s are independent ratings
agencies that research and grade the ability of financial and other
institutions to make the payments due from the securities issued
and/or guaranteed by them.
By way of example, Standard & Poor’s highest possible rating is
AAA, followed by AA and A.These three ratings along with their
BBB rating are generally regarded as investment grade (i.e. of higher
quality).All of these ratings, except the AAA rating, can also be
modified by a plus or a minus to give a counterparty’s relative status
within the grade; for example,A+,A,A- for the A rating. Ratings from
BB downwards are provided in respect of other securities.
A rating outlook assesses the potential direction of a long-term
credit rating.The term considered varies between credit rating
agencies; Fitch looks at a 12 to 24 month period, Standard &
Poor’s a 6 to 24 month period, while Moody’s says its outlooks
are ‘over the medium term’. In determining a rating outlook,
consideration is given to any changes in the economic and
fundamental business conditions.An outlook is not necessarily a
precursor of a rating change or future creditwatch action.
ll Positive means that a rating may be raised.
ll Negative means that a rating may be lowered.
ll Stable means that a rating is not likely to change.
ll Developing means a rating may be raised or lowered.
All references to the credit rating are correct as at the date of
this Brochure. Credit ratings are subject to change during the
offer period and during the term of the Plan.
Ongoing information about the ratings of Credit Suisse is available
on the Meteor website and, if you have invested via a Meteor
Account, we will, where appropriate, include information relating to
credit ratings in your periodic valuation statements.
Please refer to your financial adviser if you have any queries
regarding credit ratings.

Dual Option Kick Out Plan Sept / Oct 2014
A quick review
ØØ The Dual Option Kick Out Plan September /
October 2014 is a maximum six year and two week
investment.
ØØ The Plan offers two investment options, where
investors can choose whether the returns are linked
to the performance of the FTSE 100 Index or to the
EURO STOXX 50 Index (each an 'Index’, collectively
the 'Indices').
ØØ You can choose to invest in one or both investment
option(s). Please indicate this on the appropriate
application form. Note that if you have chosen to
invest in one, you are not permitted to switch your
investment over to the other after the Start Date.
ØØ If, on any Measurement Date, the closing level of
the relevant Index is at least equal to its Opening
Level the Plan will mature early and make a gross
investment return.
ØØ Option 1 offers a potential gross investment return,
linked to the FTSE 100 Index, of 7.75% of the money
you invest for each complete year that the Plan has
been in force. If the Plan runs until the Maturity Date
and the Final Level of the Index is at least equal to its
Opening Level, the Plan will make a gross investment
return of 46.5% of the money you invest.
ØØ Option 2 offers a potential gross investment return,
linked to the EURO STOXX 50 Index, of 9.5% of the
money you invest for each complete year that the Plan
has been in force. If the Plan runs until the Maturity
Date and the Final Level of the Index is at least
equal to its Opening Level, the Plan will make a gross
investment return of 57% of the money you invest.
ØØ The first Measurement Date will be on 3 November
2016, two years after the Start Date.Thereafter, the
performance of the Indices will be measured annually.
ØØ You will lose some or all of your money if the Final
Level of the relevant Index is below 60% of its
Opening Level.
ØØ In this case, the reduction in the return of your
original investment at the Maturity Date will equal
the same percentage that the Final Level of the
relevant Index is below its Opening Level.
ØØ You could also lose some, or all, of your money
and any investment return to which you would
have otherwise been entitled, in the event that
BNP Paribas Arbitrage Issuance B.V., (the financial
institution that issues the underlying Securities for the
Plan) and/or BNP Paribas, (the Guarantor of BNP
Paribas Arbitrage Issuance B.V.) fail to make payments
due under the Securities.
ØØ It is our understanding that the investment returns
from this Plan will be subject to Capital GainsTax
(see page 12).
ØØ Option 1 ISIN: XS1083621976
ØØ Option 2 ISIN: XS1083622271
ØØ Listing: Luxembourg Stock Exchange
ØØ Available for investment by individual or joint
applicants, stocks and shares NISAs for the 2014/15
tax year, NISA transfers, pension schemes, trustees,
companies and partnerships.

Key Risks
Risk to capital and investment returns
ØØ This is a capital-at-risk product and you could lose
some, or all, of the money you invest in the Plan.
ØØ It is possible that an investment return may not be
payable after any of the Measurement Dates and there
may be no investment return at all.
Access to capital
ØØ If your circumstances change and you need to
withdraw from the Plan prior to maturity, the
Securities would have to be sold and you may not
receive back all of the amount you originally invested
in the Plan. In this event, you will also have to pay
an administration charge. Please note that there is
no guarantee that BNP Paribas Arbitrage SNC (the
Calculation Agent of the Securities) will provide
pricing.
ØØ In normal market conditions, it is expected that
the Calculation Agent of the Securities will provide
pricing of the Securities to the Plan Manager for
investors who may require access to their investment
before the Maturity Date. However, there is no
guarantee that you will be able to redeem any
investment before the Maturity Date as the decision
about whether market conditions are normal will be
taken by the Calculation Agent.
Counterparty risk
ØØ You could lose some, or all, of your money and any
investment return to which you would have otherwise
been entitled, in the event that BNP Paribas Arbitrage
Issuance B.V., (the financial institution that issues the
underlying Securities for the Plan) and/or BNP Paribas,
(the Guarantor of BNP Paribas Arbitrage Issuance
B.V.) fail to make payments due under the Securities.
ØØ The actual and perceived ability of the Issuer or the
Guarantor to meet its obligations may affect the
market value of an investment over the term. If the
Issuer or the Guarantor fails to meet its obligations,
you will get back less than is due to you or nothing
at all.
The risks associated with this product are not
limited to those listed above,but these are the key
risks.Further risks are outlined on pages 14 to 16.

The UK’s homes are responsible for more
than a quarter of the UK’s emissions of
the main greenhouse gas driving climate
change. New build housing is relatively
simple build to high environmental
standards, the challenge is to make the
existing housing stock energy efficient –
and, in particular, houses in conservation
areas.
London has almost half the total estimated
dwellings in Conservation Areas in the UK,
the house MBA were asked to refurbish
was within Stockwell. Built during the
1840s, this end of terrace home had been
lived by the client for more than 30 yrs.
Our brief was to extend and refurbish
the house to create a home for the 21st
Century designed to the highest possible
environmental standards and low energy
use. The house has now been occupied for
more than two years following the works,
during which time its performance has
been carefully monitored. The figures reveal
that, at 30 CO2 kg/m2/yr, the house uses
half the energy of the average home.
The original, single-fronted house was
made double-fronted, with an additional
floor and a new extension at the back.
This replaced the former one and was
separated from the main house, by a light
slot, which bought natural light deep into
the plan.
The existing Georgian materials and details
were simply replicated, stripping back
ornamentation, to respectfully carry out the
works to the proposed front elevation.
Reclaimed Georgian stock bricks were
sourced to blend the side extension
seamlessly into the original building.
