Dual currency structured investment
It will allow you to achieve returns in excess of the deposit rates if you assume the risk that the invested capital may be converted at a predetermined rate at the maturity of the transaction. A non-leveraged investment that cannot be closed before the maturity of the term.
Example transactions
- You have HUF savings that you would like to invest for 6 months with a return higher than the deposit rate. If you expect the EUR/HUF exchange rate to be above a certain level (strike price) in 6 months, or if the exchange rate is below this level in 6 months, you would be willing to convert your forint into euro at the strike rate, then a dual currency structured investment may be suitable for your purposes.
- By entering into a dual currency structured investment in exchange for a higher return, you take the risk that if the market EUR/HUF exchange rate at maturity is below the strike rate, your invested forint will be converted into euro at the strike rate.
- The return on the transaction will be credited to your account in one lump sum in HUF upon the expiration of the investment.
- The transaction cannot be closed before maturity after it has been concluded.

Benefits
- In the currency of the investment, a higher return can be obtained than the deposit yields available for that maturity.
- The parameters of the transaction, such as the currency pair, the amount to be invested, the threshold price and the maturity, can be flexibly customised.
Risks
- The amount invested may be converted into another currency at a significantly less favourable rate than the market rate at maturity.
- The transaction cannot be closed before maturity, so the exchange rate
risk persists throughout the term.
