Investment overview

The Macquarie DPA 200 is designed to be held to maturity (five years). If the investment is held to maturity an investor will receive2:

 - The original application amount; and
 
- Five annual fixed interest payments; and
 - Any gain on the S&P/ASX 200 index between a set hurdle and cap.

The hurdle and cap will be fixed at the beginning of the investment term and will be between 100%-150% for the hurdle and 130%-180% for the cap. There will be no overlap between the actual hurdle and cap set.


Example

An investor submits an application form with an application amount of $100,000 which is accepted by the issuer. The investor wishes to have a Deposit and an Access 200 Investment. The investor will have a deposit of $90,000 with Macquarie Bank Limited and an Access 200 Investment Amount of $10,000. The Macquarie DPA 200 is held until maturity.

It is important to note that when calculating any gain from the exposure to the S&P/ASX 200 index, the full application amount of $100,000 will be used. This is demonstrated in the example below.

Assumptions:

1. The fixed interest rate is 4.45% p.a. on the issue date;
2. The S&P/ASX 200 index start level on the issue date is 3,500;
3. The fixed percentage rate for the set hurdle is 120% (as advised on the Macquarie DPA 200 website);
4. The fixed percentage rate for the set cap is 150% (as advised on the Macquarie DPA 200 website);
5. The set hurdle is 4,200 (S&P/ASX 200 index start level (3,500) x 120%);
6. The set cap is 5,250 (S&P/ASX 200 index start level (3,500) x 150%);
7. The S&P/ASX 200 index is 5,700 on the maturity date. However the level used to calculate any S&P/ASX 200 gain is 5,250 (the set cap).

The investor would receive the following:

Annual income

$4,005 each year or $20,025 over five years3

Annual fixed interest payment

At maturity (year 5)

$30,000

Total payment at maturity (includes return of application amount).

Please note that this is an illustrative example only to show potential cash flows where an investment is held to maturity, there is an S&P/ASX 200 gain and the investor has elected to utilise the Sale Facility. The S&P/ASX 200 gain is not an indication of anticipated future performance. You should not regard this as an indication of how Macquarie DPA 200 will actually perform.  Actual returns may differ materially and could be lower. For the purposes of the example above it has been assumed that no Establishment Fee is payable. Please note that an Establishment Fee of 2.2% of the Deposit Amount is payable in addition to the Application Amount.

The Macquarie DPA 200 may suit investors who are looking for:

 - The security of a bank deposit

 
- A fixed interest rate for the term

 - Interest paid annually

 - Access to the Australian share market with the benefit of capital protection at maturity

Early withdrawal

An investor may withdraw from their investment annually. On early withdrawal the deposit (less any break costs or plus any break gains) will be returned to the investor plus the fixed annual interest payment for that year.

The investor will also receive the value of their Access 200 Investment at the withdrawal date. This value will be the greater of the Realisable Value 5 or a percentage of the original Access 200 Investment Amount as follows:

Year 1

30%

Year 2

40%

Year 3

50%

Year 4

50%

Risks

The key risks include:

Counterparty risk on Macquarie
The risk that Macquarie does not meet its obligations. This may result in a loss of capital protection and/or the non-payment of the S&P/ASX 200 gain (if any) at maturity. It may also mean that the deposit is not returned and the interest payments are not received.

Performance risk
The risk that the S&P/ASX 200 index does not perform sufficiently well to exceed the set hurdle, at maturity, which may be caused by a number of factors including market volatility, global factors or country, industry or asset specific factors.

- Loss of capital protection
Capital protection only applies to the Access 200 Investment at maturity and is subject to risks and limitations.

Liquidity
Withdrawals are only available annually and break costs may apply.6

Refer to section 3 of the PDS and supplementary PDS for further details on the risks.
