Tacoma, Wash., Dec. 30 – HSBC USA Inc. priced $436,000 of 0% performance allocator notes due June 30, 2022 linked to three baskets of indexes, according to a 424B2 filing with the Securities and Exchange Commission.
The U.S. region basket consists of the S&P 500 index and the Russell 2000 index. The European region basket consists of the Euro Stoxx 50 index and the FTSE 100 index. The Asia Pacific region basket consists of the S&P/ASX 200 index and the Nikkei 225 index. Each index has a 50% weight in its respective basket.
The allocated return will be 50% of the return of the basket with the highest return, 30% of the return of the basket with the second-highest return and 20% of the return of the basket with the lowest return.
If the allocated return is positive, the payout at maturity will be par plus the allocated return.
If the allocated return is less than or equal to zero but greater than or equal to negative 10%, the payout will be par.
If the allocated return is less than negative 10%, investors will lose 1% for every 1% that the allocated return is less than negative 10%.
