Following the resounding success of past issues, HSBC is introducing the 10th issue of the Annual Income Deposit Account (AIDA). The five-year term AIDA, denominated in EUR, continues to be a very popular product, offering capital security and guaranteed returns. The underlying index is the Dow Jones EUROSTOXX 50. A minimum deposit of e2,500 is required.

AIDA (Series 10) was launched on 24 August 2009. The offer closes on 9 October 2009, or earlier at the Bank’s discretion.

The product attracts an annual gross interest of 4% per annum on half of the deposit, and a final return on the second half of your deposit, based on 50% participation of the growth, if any, of the Dow Jones EUROSTOXX 50 over the five years. Irrespective of performance, the full sum deposited is paid out to customers on maturity date.

For more information about AIDA one may contact HSBC’s Customer Service on 2380-2380, visit the website at www.hsbc.com.mt or call at any HSBC branch in Malta and Gozo.
