CAUTION: This product is not simple and may be difficult to understand.
What is this product?
Type:
The product is an 'over-the-counter' (OTC) Non-Deliverable Forward Foreign Exchange derivatives contract.
Objectives:
The product is a complex financial instrument linked to the exchange rate between Euro (EUR) and US Dollar (USD) (the underlying). By entering into this contract, you are required to purchase EUR against USD on the maturity date at a fixed EUR/USD exchange rate (the forward exchange rate) in an amount equal to the contractual amount irrespective of the performance of the underlying.
On the delivery date, a settlement amount in cash will be debited or credited to your account as determined below. Such settlement amount will be determined by calculating the difference between:
(a) the amount of USD necessary to exchange EUR 10,000.00 (the contractual amount) at the prevailing spot rate on the maturity date
(b) the amount of USD necessary to exchange EUR 10,000.00 (the contractual amount) at the forward exchange rate
(c) converted to EUR at the prevailing spot rate on the maturity date.
If on the delivery date:
• The underlying appreciates relative to the forward exchange rate, for example where the forward exchange rate is below the level of the underlying on the expiration date (i.e. 1.00 EUR costs more than 1.0477 USD), the settlement amount will be credited to your account in the settlement currency.
• The underlying depreciates relative to the forward exchange rate, for example where the forward exchange rate is above the level of the underlying on the expiration date (i.e. 1.00 EUR costs less than 1.0477 USD), the settlement amount will be debited to your account in the settlement currency.
The product does not pay any interest or other periodic amount during its lifetime
Term:
The terms of the product can vary between a range of 1 week to 6 years. The product does not provide the option that if certain extraordinary events occur, you and/or the product manufacturer can terminate the product early. Therefore the product cannot be terminated. You may nevertheless enter into an additional counter transaction that offsets the economical effect of this contract.
What are the risks and what could I get in return?
The summary risk indicator is a guide to the level of risk of this product compared to other products. It shows how likely it is that the product will lose money because of movements in the markets or because we are not able to pay you. We have classified this product as 7 out of 7 which is the highest risk class. This rates the potential losses from future performance at a very high level and poor market conditions may impact our capacity to pay you. Losses can be up to the entire amount invested, if you are a Retail Client as you benefit from negative balance protection measures. However, there is no capital protection against market risk, credit risk or liquidity risk.
Be aware of currency risk. You will receive payments in a different currency, so the final return will depend on the exchange rate between the two currencies. This risk is not considered in the indicator shown above.
The total loss you may incur is only your invested capital. This product does not include any protection from future market performance, so you could lose all of your investments. If we are not able to pay you what is owed, you could lose your entire investment. However, you may benefit from the investor compensation fund (see the section 'what happens if we are unable to pay you'). The indicator shown above does not consider this protection.

This table shows you the money you could get back under different scenarios, assuming that you invest in a particular virtual currency pair. The scenarios shown illustrate how your investment could perform. You can compare them with the scenarios of other products. The scenarios presented are an estimate of future performance based on evidence from the past on how the value of this investment varies and are not an exact indicator. What you profit/loose will vary depending on how the market performs and how long you keep your position open. The stress scenario shows what you might get back in extreme market circumstances, and it does not take into account the situation where we are not able to pay you. The figures shown include all the costs of the product itself. The figures do not take into account your personal tax situation, which may also affect how much you get back. These performance scenarios assume you only have one position open and do not take into account the negative or positive cumulative balance you may have if you have multiple open positions with us.
