San Diego, April 25 - HSBC USA Inc. priced $154,000 of 0% performance notes due April 27, 2017 linked to the S&P 500 Low Volatility index, according to a 424B2 filing with the Securities and Exchange Commission.
If the index return is positive, the payout at maturity will be par plus the index return. Investors will receive a minimum of par if the index declines.
The S&P 500 Low Volatility index is made up of the 100 least-volatile stocks over the previous year in the S&P 500 index. The volatilities of all S&P 500 constituents are calculated using daily standard deviation data for roughly the past year, and the weight for each index constituent is set inversely proportional to its volatility (higher weightings are assigned to the least volatile stocks). The index is rebalanced in February, May, August and November of each year.
HSBC Securities (USA) Inc. is the agent.
