Calculations

1. Market Value

Market Value = Nominal Value * Last Price

Note:

  • The market value is for reference only when trading structured products, and the last price is a reference price provided by the issuer based on market conditions.
  • Market value fluctuations do not impact your account. The actual return depends on factors such as coupon payment, maturity, and knock-out funds.

 

2. Nominal Value

The nominal value of the product is usually the principal invested. It is the basis for calculating maturity/knock-out returns.

 

3. Cost

Cost is calculated on a diluted or average basis.

  • Diluted Cost

Diluted Cost = (Total Subscription Amount – Total Coupon Payments – Knock-Out Amount – Maturity Amount) / Position Nominal Value

  • Average Cost

The average cost represents the cost of the current position at the time of subscription. It changes only if the position increases. A cash dividend reduces the average cost by deducting the dividend amount from it.

Average Cost = (Nominal Value Before Current Purchase × Average Cost Before Current Purchase + Amount Paid for Current Purchase) / Position Nominal Value After Purchase

 

4. Position P/L and Return

Only returns for non-principal-protected products are shown as reference.

  • Using diluted cost:
    Return = Position P/L / (Diluted Cost * Position Nominal Value)
  • Using average cost:
    Return = Position P/L / (Average Cost * Position Nominal Value)
