If you want the best return on your cash and are willing to accept the risk of being reimbursed in another predefined currency, our Dual Currency Certificate fits the bill. It consists of a long position in a given currency combined with a short position on a currency option. Depending on market conditions at maturity, the repayment of your original investment and the payment of the maximum return may take place in a predefined alternative currency. This product is aimed particularly at investors with a multi-currency portfolio.
