Overview

What is MaxiYield?

MaxiYield is a dual-currency investment product. You can enjoy:

●  Potentially higher yields on your currency investments. The potential gain is probably usually higher than fixed deposit with the same tenor.

●  An opportunity to potentially capitalize on foreign exchange movements.

●  More choice on foreign currency. You can choose a currency pair from a wide range of currencies*, including AUD, CAD, EUR, GBP, JPY, NZD, SGD, CHF and USD.

Is MaxiYield right for you?

MaxiYield may be an investment for you if:

●  You do not mind holding more than two currencies;

●  You do not mind holding a certain currency with relatively low movement to earn a relatively higher interest and have a greater chance of earning a return in the base currency.

●  You predict that the exchange rate of your chosen currency will remain stable and you hope to earn a higher interest.

— Assuming USD100,000

— Assuming 12% p.a.

Contrast

   A (Profit) B (Loss)
Scenario If AUD/USD rate is above 0.7500,you will receive your invested amount plus investment return in base currency (USD) If AUD/USD rate is below 0.7500,you will receive your invested amount plus investment return in alternative currency (AUD)
Prevailing Exchange Rate on Expiration Date 0.7600 (i.e. AUD1 is worth USD0.7600) 0.7400 (i.e. AUD1 is worth USD0.7400)
Amount Received upon Maturity USD100,000 +(USD100,000 x12% x30/360) = USD101,000 [USD100,000 +(USD100,000 x12% x30/360)]/0.7500= AUD134,666.67
Gain or Loss USD1,000 (AUD134,666.67 *0.7400) - USD 100,000 = - USD346.66

Minimum investment amount: USD25,000 or equivalent currency is required for MaxiYield.
