Product Description

 


Offering Growth Potential

The Performance Securities with Partial Protection linked to the UBS Bloomberg Constant Maturity Commodity Index Excess Return (the “Securities”) provide exposure to potential price appreciation in the Index as well as partial protection at maturity. Partial protected investments issued at UBS can help reduce portfolio risk while maintaining exposure to commodities. The partial protection feature only applies if the Securities are held to maturity. The term “Excess Return” in the title of the Index is not intended to suggest that the performance of the Index at any time or the return on your Securities will be positive or that the Index is designed to exceed a particular benchmark.
