When you invest in the UK & US Step Down Kick-out Plan (MS196), you may receive an accumulated return of 8% for each year of your investment depending on the performance of the FTSE 100 Index and the S&P 500 Index. 

The Plan has the potential to mature early (kick-out) on an Anniversary Date where both Indices are at or above predetermined kick-out levels.

The required kick-out levels reduce by 5% on the fourth anniversary, and annually thereafter. The required Final Index Levels are reduced to 85% of the Initial Index Levels on the Investment End date.

Capital is at risk if one or both of the Indices closes below 65% of its respective Initial Index Level on the Investment End Date. 
You could lose some or all of your Initial Investment.
