Summary

The Enhanced Buffer Market-Linked Step Up Notes Linked to the Dow Jones Industrial Average^SM, due March , 2014 (the “notes”) are our senior unsecured debt securities. The notes are not guaranteed or insured by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation or secured by collateral. The notes will rank equally with all of our other unsecured and unsubordinated debt, and any payments due on the notes, including any repayment of principal, will be subject to the credit risk of BAC.

The notes provide investors with a Step Up Payment if the Ending Value of the Dow Jones Industrial Average^SM (the “Index”), determined on a calculation day shortly before the maturity date, is greater than or equal to the Threshold Value, but does not increase above the Step Up Value. If the level of the Index increases from the Starting Value to an Ending Value that is above the Step Up Value, investors will participate on a 1-for-1 basis in the increase above the Starting Value. Investors should be of the view that the Ending Value will be greater than the Threshold Value. Investors must be willing to forgo interest payments on the notes and be willing to accept a repayment that will be less, and potentially significantly less, than the Original Offering Price if the Ending Value is less than the Threshold Value. Investors must also be willing to forgo a higher Step Up Payment that would apply to market-linked step up notes in which the Step Up Payment would not be paid if the Ending Value was less than the Starting Value.

Capitalized terms used but not defined in this term sheet have the meanings set forth in product supplement SUN-1. Unless otherwise indicated or unless the context requires otherwise, all references in this document to “we,” “us,” “our,” or similar references are to BAC.

Terms of the Notes

Issuer:	Bank of America Corporation (“BAC”)
Original Offering  Price:	$10.00 per unit

Determining the Redemption Amount for the Notes

On the maturity date, you will receive a cash payment per unit of the notes (the “Redemption Amount”) calculated as follows:

  Enhanced Buffer Market-Linked Step Up Notes   TS-2

Hypothetical Payout Profile

This graph reflects the hypothetical returns on the notes at maturity, based on the hypothetical Step Up Payment of $1.30 (the midpoint of the Step Up Payment range of $1.00 to $1.60), the hypothetical Step Up Value of 113% of the hypothetical Starting Value (the midpoint of the Step Up Value range of 110% to 116%), and the hypothetical Threshold Value of 90% of the Starting Value. The green line reflects the hypothetical returns on the notes while the grey dotted line reflects the hypothetical returns of a direct investment in the stocks included in the Index, excluding dividends.   This graph has been prepared for purposes of illustration only. Your actual return will depend on the actual Starting Value, Step Up Payment, Step Up Value, Ending Value, Threshold Value, and the term of your investment.

Hypothetical Redemption Amounts

Examples

Set forth below are four examples of hypothetical Redemption Amount calculations (rounded to two decimal places) payable at maturity, based upon a hypothetical Starting Value of 12,268.19 (the closing level of the Index on February 14, 2011), a hypothetical Threshold Value of 11,041.37, a hypothetical Step Up Payment of $1.30 (the midpoint of the Step Up Payment range of $1.00 to $1.60), and a hypothetical Step Up Value of 113% of the hypothetical Starting Value (the midpoint of the Step Up Value range of 110% to 116%):

Example 1 — The hypothetical Ending Value is 80% of the hypothetical Starting Value and is less than the hypothetical Threshold Value:

Hypothetical Starting Value:	12,268.19
Hypothetical Threshold Value:	11,041.37
Hypothetical Ending Value:	9,814.55

Hypothetical Redemption Amount (per unit) =	$10 –	[	$10 ×	(	11,041.37 –  9,814.55	)	]	= $9.00
					12,268.19

Example 2 — The hypothetical Ending Value is 95% of the hypothetical Starting Value and is greater than the hypothetical Threshold Value, but is less than or equal to the hypothetical Step Up Value:

Hypothetical Starting Value:	12,268.19
Hypothetical Threshold Value:	11,041.37
Hypothetical Ending Value:	11,654.78
Hypothetical Step Up Value:	13,863.05

Hypothetical Redemption Amount (per unit) = $10.00 + $1.30 = $11.30

In this case, even though the hypothetical Ending Value is less than the hypothetical Starting Value, because the hypothetical Ending Value is greater than or equal to the hypothetical Threshold Value but less than or equal to the hypothetical Step Up Value, the hypothetical Redemption Amount (per unit) will equal $11.30, which is the sum of the Original Offering Price and the hypothetical Step Up Payment of $1.30.

Example 3 — The hypothetical Ending Value is 105% of the hypothetical Starting Value and is greater than the hypothetical Threshold Value, but is less than or equal to the hypothetical Step Up Value:

Hypothetical Starting Value:	12,268.19
Hypothetical Threshold Value:	11,041.37
Hypothetical Ending Value:	12,881.60
Hypothetical Step Up Value:	13,863.05

Hypothetical Redemption Amount (per unit) = $10.00 + $1.30 = $11.30

In this case, because the hypothetical Ending Value is greater than or equal to the hypothetical Threshold Value but less than or equal to the hypothetical Step Up Value, the hypothetical Redemption Amount (per unit) will equal $11.30, which is the sum of the Original Offering Price and the hypothetical Step Up Payment of $1.30.

Example 4 — The hypothetical Ending Value is 150% of the hypothetical Starting Value and is greater than the hypothetical Step Up Value:

Hypothetical Starting Value:	12,268.19
Hypothetical Ending Value:	18,402.29
Hypothetical Step Up Value:	13,863.05

Hypothetical Redemption Amount (per unit) =	$10 +	[	$10 ×	(	18,402.29 –  12,268.19	)	]	= $15.00
					12,268.19

  Enhanced Buffer Market-Linked Step Up Notes   TS-3

The following table illustrates, for the hypothetical Starting Value of 12,268.19 (the closing level of the Index on February 14, 2011), a hypothetical Threshold Value of 90% of the hypothetical Starting Value (rounded to two decimal places), and a range of hypothetical Ending Values:

§ the percentage change from the hypothetical Starting Value to the hypothetical Ending Value;

§ the hypothetical Redemption Amount per unit of the notes (rounded to two decimal places); and

§ the hypothetical total rate of return to holders of the notes.

The table below is based on a hypothetical Step Up Payment of $1.30 (the midpoint of the Step Up Payment range of $1.00 to $1.60) and a hypothetical Step Up Value of 113% of the Starting Value (the midpoint of the Step Up Value range of 110% to 116%).

Hypothetical Ending  Value(1)	Percentage Change from the Hypothetical Starting Value to the Hypothetical Ending Value	Hypothetical Redemption Amount per Unit	Hypothetical Total Rate of Return on the Notes
6,134.10	-50.00%	$6.00	-40.00%
7,360.91	-40.00%	$7.00	-30.00%
8,587.73	-30.00%	$8.00	-20.00%

12,513.55	2.00%	$11.30	13.00%
12,881.60	5.00%	$11.30	13.00%
13,495.01	10.00%	$11.30	13.00%
13,863.05(5)	13.00%	$11.30	13.00%
14,721.83	20.00%	$12.00	20.00%
15,948.65	30.00%	$13.00	30.00%
17,175.47	40.00%	$14.00	40.00%
18,402.29	50.00%	$15.00	50.00%

(1) The Index is a price return index. Accordingly, the Ending Value will not include any income generated by dividends paid on the stocks included in the Index, which you would otherwise be entitled to receive if you invested in those stocks directly.

(2) This is the hypothetical Threshold Value. The actual Threshold Value will be determined on the pricing date and set forth in the final term sheet that will be made available in connection with sales of the notes.

(3) This amount represents the sum of the Original Offering Price and the hypothetical Step Up Payment. The actual Step Up Payment will be determined on the pricing date and will be between $1.00 and $1.60.

(4) This is the hypothetical Starting Value, which is the closing level of the Index on February 14, 2011. The actual Starting Value will be determined on the pricing date and set forth in the final term sheet that will be made available in connection with sales of the notes.

(5) This is the hypothetical Step Up Value. The actual Step Up Value will be determined on the pricing date and will be between 110% and 116% of the actual Starting Value.

The above figures are for purposes of illustration only. The actual Redemption Amount and the resulting total rate of return will depend on the actual Starting Value, Threshold Value, Ending Value, Step Up Value, Step Up Payment, and the term of your investment.

Risk Factors

There are important differences between the notes and a conventional debt security. An investment in the notes involves significant risks, including those listed below. You should carefully review the more detailed explanation of risks relating to the notes in the “Risk Factors” sections beginning on page S-8 of product supplement SUN-1 and page S-4 of the MTN prospectus supplement identified below under “Additional Terms.” We also urge you to consult your investment, legal, tax, accounting, and other advisors before you invest in the notes.

§ Your investment may result in a loss; there is no guaranteed return of principal.

§ Your yield may be less than the yield on a conventional debt security of comparable maturity.

§ You must rely on your own evaluation of the merits of an investment linked to the Index.

§ In seeking to provide you with what we believe to be commercially reasonable terms for the notes while providing MLPF&S with compensation for its services, we have considered the costs of developing, hedging, and distributing the notes.

§ A trading market is not expected to develop for the notes. MLPF&S is not obligated to make a market for, or to repurchase, the notes.

§ Payments on the notes are subject to our credit risk, and changes in our credit ratings are expected to affect the value of the notes.

§ The Redemption Amount will not be affected by all developments relating to the Index.

§ Dow Jones Trademark Holdings, LLC (“Dow Jones”) and CME Group Index Services LLC (“CME Indexes”) may adjust the Index in a way that affects its level, and Dow Jones and CME Indexes have no obligation to consider your interests.

§ You will have no rights of a holder of the securities represented by the Index, and you will not be entitled to receive securities or dividends or other distributions by the issuers of those securities.

§ While we or our affiliates may from time to time own shares of companies included in the Index, except to the extent that our common stock is included in the Index, we do not control any company included in the Index, and are not responsible for any disclosure made by any other company.

§ If you attempt to sell the notes prior to maturity, their market value, if any, will be affected by various factors that interrelate in complex ways, and their market value may be less than their Original Offering Price.

§ Purchases and sales by us and our affiliates of shares of companies included in the Index may affect your return.

§ Our trading and hedging activities may create conflicts of interest with you.

§ Our hedging activities may affect your return on the notes and their market value.

§ Our business activities relating to the companies represented by the Index may create conflicts of interest with you.

§ There may be potential conflicts of interest involving the calculation agent. We have the right to appoint and remove the calculation agent.

§ The U.S. federal income tax consequences of the notes are uncertain, and may be adverse to a holder of the notes. See “Summary Tax Consequences” and “Certain U.S. Federal Income Taxation Considerations” below and “U.S. Federal Income Tax Summary” beginning on page S-31 of product supplement SUN-1.

Investor Considerations

You may wish to consider an investment in the notes if:

§ You anticipate that the Ending Value will increase from the Starting Value, and in no event will be less than the Threshold Value.

§ You accept that your investment will result in a loss, which could be significant, if the level of the Index decreases from the Starting Value to an Ending Value that is less than the Threshold Value.

§ You are willing to forgo interest payments on the notes, such as fixed or floating rate interest paid on traditional interest bearing debt securities.

§ You are willing to forgo a higher Step Up Payment that would apply to a market-linked step up note in which the Step Up Payment would not be paid if the Ending Value was less than the Starting Value.

§ You seek exposure to the Index with no expectation of dividends or other benefits of owning the stocks included in the Index.

§ You are willing to accept that a trading market is not expected to develop for the notes. You understand that secondary market prices for the notes, if any, will be affected by various factors, including our actual and perceived creditworthiness.

§ You are willing to make an investment, the payment on which depends on our creditworthiness, as the issuer of the notes.

The notes may not be an appropriate investment for you if:

§ You anticipate that the level of the Index will decrease from the Starting Value to an Ending Value that is less than the Threshold Value.

§ You seek 100% principal protection or preservation of capital.

§ You seek interest payments or other current income on your investment.

§ You seek a higher Step Up Payment that would apply to a market-linked step up note in which the Step Up Payment would not be paid if the Ending Value was less than the Starting Value.

§ You want to receive dividends or other distributions paid on the stocks included in the Index.

§ You seek assurances that there will be a liquid market if and when you want to sell the notes prior to maturity.

§ You are unwilling or are unable to assume the credit risk associated with us, as the issuer of the notes.

Other Provisions

We may deliver the notes against payment therefor in New York, New York on a date that is greater than three business days following the pricing date. Under Rule 15c6-1 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, trades in the secondary market generally are required to settle in three business days, unless the parties to any such trade expressly agree otherwise. Accordingly, if the initial settlement of the notes occurs more than three business days from the pricing date, purchasers who wish to trade the notes more than three business days prior to the original issue date will be required to specify alternative settlement arrangements to prevent a failed settlement.

If you place an order to purchase the notes, you are consenting to MLPF&S acting as a principal in effecting the transaction for your account.

Supplement to the Plan of Distribution

MLPF&S, a broker-dealer subsidiary of BAC, is a member of the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority, Inc. (“FINRA”) and will participate as selling agent in the distribution of the notes. Accordingly, offerings of the notes will conform to the requirements of FINRA Rule 5121. Under our distribution agreement with MLPF&S, MLPF&S will purchase the notes from us on the issue date as principal at the purchase price indicated on the cover of this term sheet, less the indicated underwriting discount. MLPF&S will not receive an underwriting discount for notes sold to certain fee-based trusts and fee-based discretionary accounts managed by U.S. Trust operating through Bank of America, N.A. In the original offering of the notes, the notes will be sold in minimum investment amounts of 100 units.

MLPF&S may use this Note Prospectus for offers and sales in secondary market transactions and market-making transactions in the notes but is not obligated to engage in such secondary market transactions and/or market-making transactions. MLPF&S may act as principal or agent in these transactions, and any such sales will be made at prices related to prevailing market prices at the time of the sale.

The Index

All disclosures contained in this term sheet regarding the Index, including, without limitation, its make up, method of calculation, and changes in its components, have been derived from publicly available sources. The information reflects the policies of Dow Jones Indexes, the marketing name of CME Group Index Services LLC (“CME Indexes”), and is subject to change by Dow Jones Indexes. Dow Jones Indexes has no obligation to continue to publish, and may discontinue publication of, the Index. The consequences of Dow Jones Indexes discontinuing publication of the Index are discussed in the section beginning on page S-25 of product supplement SUN-1 entitled “Description of the Notes—Discontinuance of a Market Measure.” None of us, the calculation agent, or the selling agent accepts any responsibility for the calculation, maintenance, or publication of the Index or any successor index.

The “DJIA^SM” is a product of Dow Jones Indexes, the marketing name and a licensed trademark of CME Indexes and has been licensed for use. “Dow Jones”, “Dow Jones Industrial Average^SM”, “Dow Jones Indexes” and “DJIA” are service marks of Dow Jones Trademark Holdings LLC (“Dow Jones”) and have been licensed for use for certain purposes by us. The notes based on the Dow Jones Industrial Average^SM are not sponsored, endorsed, sold or promoted by Dow Jones, CME Indexes or their respective affiliates and Dow Jones, CME Indexes and their respective affiliates make no representation regarding the advisability of investing in the notes.

Publication of the Index

Unless otherwise stated, all information on the Index provided in this term sheet is derived from Dow Jones Indexes, the marketing name and a licensed trademark of CME Indexes. The Index is a price-weighted index, which means an underlying stock’s weight in the Index is based on its price per share rather than the total market capitalization of the issuer. The Index is designed to provide an indication of the composite performance of 30 common stocks of corporations representing a broad cross-section of U.S. industry. The corporations represented in the Index tend to be market leaders in their respective industries and their stocks are typically widely held by individuals and institutional investors.

The Index is maintained by an Averages Committee comprised of the Managing Editor of The Wall Street Journal (“WSJ”), the head of Dow Jones Indexes research and the head of CME Group Inc. research. The Averages Committee was created in March 2010, when Dow Jones Indexes became part of CME Group Index Services, LLC, a joint venture company owned 90% by CME Group Inc. and 10% by Dow Jones & Company. Generally, composition changes occur only after mergers, corporate acquisitions or other dramatic shifts in a component’s core business. When such an event necessitates that one component be replaced, the entire Index is reviewed. As a result, when changes are made they typically involve more than one component. While there are no rules for component selection, a stock typically is added only if it has an excellent reputation, demonstrates sustained growth, is of interest to a large number of investors and accurately represents the sector(s) covered by the average.

Changes in the composition of the Index are made entirely by the Averages Committee without consultation with the corporations represented in the Index, any stock exchange, any official agency or us. Changes to the common stocks included in the Index tend to be made infrequently, and the underlying stocks of the Index may be changed at any time for any reason. The companies currently represented in the Index are incorporated in the United States and its territories and their stocks are listed on the New York Stock Exchange and NASDAQ.

The Index initially consisted of 12 common stocks and was first published in the WSJ in 1896. The Index was increased to include 20 common stocks in 1916 and to 30 common stocks in 1928. The number of common stocks in the Index has remained at 30 since 1928, and, in an effort to maintain continuity, the constituent corporations represented in the Index have been changed on a relatively infrequent basis.

Computation of the Index

The level of the Index is the sum of the primary exchange prices of each of the 30 component stocks included in the Index, divided by a divisor that is designed to provide a meaningful continuity in the level of the Index. Because the Index is price-weighted, stock splits or changes in the component stocks could result in distortions in the Index level. In order to prevent these distortions related to extrinsic factors, the divisor is periodically changed in accordance with a mathematical formula that reflects adjusted proportions within the Index. The current divisor of the Index is published daily in the WSJ and other publications. In addition, other statistics based on the Index may be found in a variety of publicly available sources.

Summary Tax Consequences

You should consider the U.S. federal income tax consequences of an investment in the notes, including the following:

• You agree with us (in the absence of an administrative determination, or judicial ruling to the contrary) to characterize and treat the notes for all tax purposes as single financial contracts linked to the Index that requires you to pay us at inception an amount equal to the purchase price of the notes and that entitles you to receive at maturity an amount in cash linked to the performance of the Index.

• Under this characterization and tax treatment of the notes, upon receipt of a cash payment at maturity or upon a sale or exchange of the notes prior to maturity, you generally will recognize capital gain or loss. This capital gain or loss generally will be long-term capital gain or loss if you held the notes for more than one year.

Certain U.S. Federal Income Taxation Considerations

Set forth below is a summary of certain U.S. federal income tax considerations relating to an investment in the notes. The following summary is not complete and is qualified in its entirety by the discussion under the section entitled “U.S. Federal Income Tax Summary” beginning on page S-31 of product supplement SUN-1, which you should carefully review prior to investing in the notes.

General. Although there is no statutory, judicial, or administrative authority directly addressing the characterization of the notes, we intend to treat the notes for all tax purposes as single financial contracts linked to the Index that requires the investor to pay us at inception an amount equal to the purchase price of the notes and that entitles the investor to receive at maturity an amount in cash linked to the performance of the Index. Under the terms of the notes, we and every investor in the notes agree, in the absence of an administrative determination or judicial ruling to the contrary, to treat the notes as described in the preceding sentence. This discussion assumes that the notes constitute single financial contracts linked to the Index for U.S. federal income tax purposes. If the notes do not constitute single financial contracts, the tax consequences described below would be materially different. The discussion in this section also assumes that there is a significant possibility of a significant loss of principal on an investment in the notes.

This characterization of the notes is not binding on the Internal Revenue Service (“IRS”) or the courts. No statutory, judicial, or administrative authority directly addresses the characterization of the notes or any similar instruments for U.S. federal income tax purposes, and no ruling is being requested from the IRS with respect to their proper characterization and treatment. Due to the absence of authorities on point, significant aspects of the U.S. federal income tax consequences of an investment in the notes are not certain, and no assurance can be given that the IRS or any court will agree with the characterization and tax treatment described in product supplement SUN-1. Accordingly, you are urged to consult your tax advisor regarding all aspects of the U.S. federal income tax consequences of an investment in the notes, including possible alternative characterizations.

Settlement at Maturity or Sale or Exchange Prior to Maturity. Assuming that the notes are properly characterized and treated as single financial contracts linked to the Index for U.S. federal income tax purposes, upon receipt of a cash payment at maturity or upon a sale or exchange of the notes prior to maturity, a U.S. Holder (as defined on page S-32 in product supplement SUN-1) generally will recognize capital gain or loss equal to the difference between the amount realized and the U.S. Holder’s basis in the notes. This capital gain or loss generally will be long-term capital gain or loss if the U.S. Holder held the notes for more than one year. The deductibility of capital losses is subject to limitations.

Possible Future Tax Law Changes. From time to time, there may be legislative proposals or interpretive guidance addressing the tax treatment of financial instruments such as the notes. We cannot predict the likelihood of any such legislation or guidance being adopted, or the ultimate impact on the notes. For example, on December 7, 2007, the IRS released Notice 2008-2 (“Notice”) seeking comments from the public on the taxation of financial instruments currently taxed as “prepaid forward contracts.” This Notice addresses instruments such as the notes. According to the Notice, the IRS and Treasury are considering whether a holder of an instrument such as the notes should be required to accrue ordinary income on a current basis, regardless of whether any payments are made prior to maturity. It is not possible to determine what guidance the IRS and Treasury will ultimately issue, if any. Any such future guidance may affect the amount, timing, and character of income, gain, or loss in respect of the notes, possibly with retroactive effect. The IRS and Treasury are also considering additional issues, including whether additional gain or loss from such instruments should be treated as ordinary or capital, whether foreign holders of such instruments should be subject to withholding tax on any deemed income accruals, whether Section 1260 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, concerning certain “constructive ownership transactions,” generally applies or should generally apply to such instruments, and whether any of these determinations depend on the nature of the underlying asset. We intend to continue treating the notes for U.S. federal income tax purposes in the manner described herein unless and until such time as we determine, or the IRS or Treasury determines, that some other treatment is more appropriate. We urge you to consult your own tax advisors concerning the impact and the significance of the above considerations.

Additional Medicare Tax on Unearned Income. With respect to taxable years beginning after December 31, 2012, certain U.S. Holders, including individuals, estates, and trusts, will be subject to an additional 3.8% Medicare tax on unearned income. For individual U.S. Holders, the additional Medicare tax applies to the lesser of (i) “net investment income,” or (ii) the excess of “modified adjusted gross income” over $200,000 ($250,000 if married and filing jointly or $125,000 if married and filing separately). “Net investment income” generally equals the taxpayer’s gross investment income reduced by the deductions that are allocable to such income. Investment income generally includes passive income such as interest, dividends, annuities, royalties, rents, and capital gains. U.S. Holders are urged to consult their own tax advisors regarding the implications of the additional Medicare tax resulting from an investment in the notes.

You should consult your own tax advisor concerning the U.S. federal income tax consequences to you of acquiring, owning, and disposing of the notes, as well as any tax consequences arising under the laws of any state, local, foreign, or other tax jurisdiction and the possible effects of changes in U.S. federal or other tax laws. See the discussion under the section entitled “U.S. Federal Income Tax Summary” beginning on page S-31 of product supplement SUN-1.

Market-Linked Investments Classification

Market-Linked Investments come in four basic categories, each designed to meet a different set of investor risk profiles, time horizons, income requirements, and market views (bullish, bearish, moderate outlook, etc.). The following descriptions of these categories are meant solely for informational purposes and are not intended to represent any particular Market-Linked Investment or guarantee performance. Certain Market-Linked Investments may have overlapping characteristics.

Market Downside Protection Market-Linked Investments combine some of the capital preservation features of traditional bonds with the growth potential of equities and other asset classes. They offer full or partial market downside protection at maturity, while offering market exposure that may provide better returns than comparable fixed-income securities. It is important to note that the market downside protection feature provides investors with protection only at maturity, subject to issuer credit risk. In addition, in exchange for full or partial protection, you forfeit dividends and full exposure to the linked asset’s upside. In some circumstances, this could result in a lower return than with a direct investment in the asset.

These short- to medium-term market-linked notes offer you a way to enhance your income stream, either through variable or fixed-interest coupons, an added payout at maturity based on the performance of the linked asset, or both. In exchange for receiving current income, you will generally forfeit upside potential on the linked asset. Even so, the prospect of higher interest payments and/or an additional payout may equate to a higher return potential than you may be able to find through other fixed-income securities. Enhanced Income Market-Linked Investments generally do not include market downside protection. The degree to which your principal is repaid at maturity is generally determined by the performance of the linked asset. Although enhanced income streams may help offset potential declines in the asset, you can still lose part or all of your original investment.

Market Access notes may offer exposure to certain market sectors, asset classes, and/or strategies that may not even be available through the other three categories of Market-Linked Investments. Subject to certain fees, the returns on Market Access Market-Linked Investments will generally correspond on a one-to-one basis with any increases or decreases in the value of the linked asset, similar to a direct investment. In some instances, they may also provide interim coupon payments. These investments do not include the market downside protection feature and, therefore, your principal remains at risk.

These short- to medium-term investments offer you a way to enhance exposure to a particular market view without taking on a similarly enhanced level of market downside risk. They can be especially effective in a flat to moderately positive market (or, in the case of bearish investments, a flat to moderately negative market). In exchange for the potential to receive better-than market returns on the linked asset, you must generally accept a degree of market downside risk and capped upside potential. As these investments are not market downside protected, and do not assure full repayment of principal at maturity, you need to be prepared for the possibility that you may lose all or part of your investment.
