Issuer Credit Sussie
S&P Credit Rating:
Market capitalization 100 Bn
CDS 5y spread 80 bps
Investment underlying opportunity: The S&P 500 has been rising ever since 2008,with a few
stumbles here and there. Since this time last year the index went from $1692.39 to $1973.63,
which gained of 281.24 points. This gain speaks to the general recovery in the economy. This could
be because a few outliers are pulling the market or each of the individual industry sectors, that
participate, in the S&P 500 are doing well and growing. On the other hand it could just be the
market sentiment increasing due to the growth in the value of the index, sort of like a self fulfilling
prophesy. It should be noted that during the start of the Credit Crisis the S&P 500 fell for about a
year and half and it took a little longer than that amount of time to recover. The index is exploring
new territory and it is up to each investor to decipher what they see to the best of their ability.

Note Return
This investment is good investment from the perspective of the metrics. On the other side, because of
the 3 year maturity is not sufficient for a complete market top to bottom cycle this note looks a bit
unattractive. Had this been a 2 or 4 year note it would have been better. As if the S&P 500 takes a down
turn, it will take at least 3 years for it to recover. A shorter maturity would stem a down turn or a longer
maturity would be better recover any loss before the note expires.
Pros Cons
Note provides a step up feature
between 0-28% that provides a return
of 28% and everything beyond that is
1-to-1 exposure.
Note offers exciting opportune
exposure to S&P 500 for $10 per note.
Call feature gives investor an early
redemption feature and can exit the
market earlier than expected
Note has potential to loss due to
1-to-1 downside exposure.
S&P 500 has been on a long bull run.
