[ Product Info ]

On Monday 29th September 2009, SG will issue New Index Turbos with a brand new characteristic:

STRIKE=KNOCK-OUT LEVEL

These products enable you to gain exposure to market benchmarks, at a fraction of the cost compared to a direct investment in the underlying.


Gain access to:

• UK Market: FTSE100 Index
• German Market: DAX30 Index
• French Market: CAC40 Index

Turbos on indices are a new class of SG Listed Products. They give investors the opportunity to take both Long and Short positions on three key European indices:

The FTSE100, The CAC40 and The DAX30.

They are highly geared financial instruments, listed on the London Stock Exchange. Turbos allow you to participate almost Penny for Penny in the performance of the underlying index, adjusted to the parity of the product. They can be traded through your UK stockbroker and can offer far higher returns at a cheaper price than a direct investment in the underlying.

In addition to this, Index Turbos have a maturity as well as an in built Knock-Out barrier, which automatically stops out the product should the underlying go against your market view. It therefore limits your maximum loss to the initial amount invested.

IMPORTANT: In case the product knocks-out prematurely, no redemption value will be calculated and the product expires worthless.




A Listed CFD also called "Turbo" gives a 1 for 1 exposure in any rise or fall of the underlying at a much cheaper price. This is valid for both long and short positions. That kind of products incorporates a knock-out barrier which automatically stops-out the Turbo in case it goes against your market view.

• The price of a Turbo is much lower than the price of the underlying, which provides a significant gearing. The closer the knock-out barrier, the riskier and therefore the higher the gearing.
• The product is listed on the London Stock Exchange and can be traded through your regular UK Broker.
• Liquidity is never an issue and SG launches new products on a regular basis. Plus there are no margin calls.
