UOB MAXIYIELD

General Description

With UOB MaxiYield, you can enjoy higher profit compared to regular Deposit

UOB MaxiYield is a Non Principal Protected Structured Product in the form of investment fund by Customer to the Bank in which there is a Plain-Vanilla FX Options transaction upon Base Currency against Alternate Currency from a Currency Pair selected by Customer and agreed with the Bank. By selling option to the Bank, Customer receives premium adding onto the interest rate of UOB MaxiYield but the return of principal and its interest upon maturity can be effected by the Bank in Base Currency or Alternate Currency at the Bank’s decision.

Determination of currency is made by making comparison between the exchange rate agreed upon at the time UOB MaxiYield placement (Pre-Agreed Exchange Rate) is made and the market exchange rate as the reference (commonly two business days prior to maturity).

If the position of Base Currency depreciates against Alternate Currency, you will receive the principal and interest in Base Currency. If the position of Base Currency appreciates against Alternate Currency exceeding the pre-Agreed Exchange Rate, you will receive the principal and interest in Alternate Currency.

*** any figure, data and information used hereunder is only for illustrative purposes and does not represent the exact proceed which may be received by the Customer and does not explain all possibilities which may arise and affect the proceed from this UOB MaxiYield transaction. Should the Customer have any inquiry or need additional information, the Customer can contact UOB Global Markets Sales or the Bank’s Marketing.

Possible scenarios which you may have:

Scenario 1
If on fixing date (commonly 2 business days prior to UOB MaxiYield maturity date) AUD/USD exchange rate is above the pre-Agreed Exchange Rate (0.7560), you will receive the principal and interest in base currency (USD) upon maturity with calculation as follows:
 
  Principal = USD 100,000
  Interest = USD 100,000 x 2.11 % x 30 hari/365 hari = USD 173.42
  Interest Tax = USD 34.68
  Principal + Interest = USD 100,173.42 (before tax)
    = USD 100,138.74 (after tax)

In scenario 1, your fund will remain in Base Currency and you will receive higher interest than conventional Deposit.

 Scenario 2

If the opposite occurs, where on fixing date AUD/USD exchange rate is at or below pre-Agreed Exchange Rate (0.7560), you will receive the principal and interest in alternate currency (AUD) using the 0.7560 Exchange Rate upon maturity with calculation as follows:

  Principal + Interest = USD 100,138.74 / 0.7560
    = AUD 132,458.65 (after tax)

In Scenario 2, you receive the principal and interest in Alternate Currency. In the event that you wish to convert back into the Base Currency, you must use the then market conversion rate which potentially could generate loss. However, the interest you receive may reduce the potential risk of losses upon making the conversion into the aforesaid Base Currency.

Worst Case Scenario
In the event that your fund is converted into Alternate Currency and AUD/USD market rate difference on the fixing date is significantly higher than the pre-agreed exchange rate, you may potentially experience an unlimited exchange loss.

 

Withdrawal/Drawdown Prior to Maturity Date

  1. UOB MaxiYield Product is highly not recommended to be withdrawn/drawn down prior to maturity date as Customer is not entitled to the corresponding MaxiYield Interest and there may be fee/penalty to be incurred by calculating the unwind fee of Customer’s position and penalty for early withdrawal which will be calculated by the Bank at the withdrawal date.
  2. Customer is required to submit a letter of request to the Bank (free format) to make Withdrawal/Drawdown Prior to the Maturity Date.

Illustrated Calculation

On the 10th day, Customer requests for withdrawal/drawdown prior to the maturity date.

Unwind fee of Customer’s position : USD (-3,000)
UOB MaxiYield Break Penalty : 2.0%

 

Calculation of fund to be received:

 

Placement in UOB MaxiYield = USD 100,000
Unwind fee of Customer’s position = USD (-3,000)
UOB MaxiYield Break Penalty (2.0%) = USD (-2,000)
Amount to be received by Customer = USD 100,000 – 3,000 – 2,000
  = USD 95,000
Total Customer Loss = USD 5,000
