Bonus Cap

Description

A Bonus Cap is a product designed to outperform an underlying index, stock or basket in moderately rising or moderately falling markets. The payout is the maximum between a fixed payout (called bonus level) and the underlying level up to a cap level, provided that the stock or index is above the protection level at the final observation date (or during the observation period). If the Protection Barrier will be reached, the product will pay the minimum between the Cap Level and the underlying level. This template also models Bonus Certificates and Outperformance Conditional Protected
