Interest Rates

Overview

ARES provide a potentially attractive alternative to a direct investment in the underlying. For bullish investors, ARES provide investors with leveraged upside on the underlying. ARES are not principal protected. Investors have the downside equivalent to a directly owned long position in the underlying (excluding dividends). ARES should be treated as capital securities for tax purposes.

Upside

ARES provide investors with leveraged exposure to the underlying. Any upside will be magnified, although some may be structured with a cap.

Downside

ARES are not a principal-protected investment. A decline in the underlying will result in an equal loss of principal.

Risks

Principal Risk – ARES are not principal-protected, which means investors should be able to risk loss of their principal amount.

Liquidity and Market Risk – The securities will not be listed on any stock exchange. ARES are intended for investors who plan to hold the securities until maturity. Holders choosing to sell the securities prior to maturity may receive an amount less than the amount such holder would have received if the ARES were held to maturity. Credit Suisse intends to maintain a secondary market in the securities, although it is not required to do so and may stop making a market at any time.

Credit Risk – Investors are assuming credit risk of the issuer.

No Dividends – Investors do not receive the dividends associated with owning the underlying directly.
