Columbus, Ohio, June 6 – Royal Bank of Canada priced $3.12 million of 0% direct investment notes due July 11, 2017 linked to the EquityCompass Equity Risk Management Strategy, according to a 424B2 filing with the Securities and Exchange Commission.
The initial investment in the hypothetical portfolio is $981 per $1,000 of notes. RBC will reduce this by 0.15% on the pricing date and will reduce it by a further 0.15% each time the portfolio is reallocated, which occurs monthly, and on the final valuation date.
The payout at maturity will be the final value of the portfolio.
If the portfolio value is less than or equal to 50% of the initial investment on any day during the life of the notes, the notes will be called, and the payout will be the value of the portfolio on the first trading day following the call trigger date.
