The product seeks to reduce potential market volatility, while still giving exposure to equities.
“This is the perfect time for investors to look at this type of low-volatility product,” Credit Suisse head of structured retail product sales for Australia and New Zealand Sam Watkins said.
“Following a sharp correction in 2008, the share market is showing signs of recovery.
“Performance Plus is offering potential accelerated exposure to growth combined with the peace of mind of capital-protected investment exposure.”
Customers have three options under the product: option A invests in 10 Australian equities selected by the company on the basis of its equities research, option B invests in nine Australian resource securities combined with a 30 per cent weighting of the Hang Seng China Enterprise Index, and option C gives exposure to the S&P/ASX 200 Index.
The minimum investment amount is $20,000, and the offer will close to investors on 12 November.
