There is an element of market risk involved.
Similar to other deposits, the capital cannot be withdrawn prior to maturity. The market value of Basket Equity Linked Deposits may fluctuate and the potential payout at maturity is dependent on the performance of the linked stocks in the stock basket during the investment period. If the linked basket performs positively then the investor gains, however if it does not perform positively, then the investor is unlikely to receive an interest. In some extreme cases, the investor may run the risk of a total loss of his capital invested. Investors must assess the risk factors, before investing in this type of product.
