If a trigger event has not occurred and the final level is less than or equal to the initial level, the payout will be par.

If a trigger event has occurred and the final level is greater than the initial level, the payout will be par plus the index gain.

If a trigger event has occurred and the final level is less than or equal to the initial level, the payout will be par plus the index return, with full exposure to losses.
