By Devika Patel

Knoxville, Tenn., May 23 – Royal Bank of Canada priced $3.22 million of 0% leveraged buffered notes due Aug. 24, 2017 linked to a basket of indexes, according to a 424B2 filing with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

The basket consists of the Euro Stoxx 50 index with a 37% weight, the FTSE 100 index with a 23% weight, the Topix index with a 23% weight, the Swiss Market index with a 9% weight and the S&P/ASX 200 index with an 8% weight.

If the basket return is positive, the payout at maturity will be par plus 1.4 times the basket return, subject to a maximum settlement amount of $1,169.40 for each $1,000 of notes.
