HSBC Bank Malta plc has launched a new Medium Term Note (MTN), the MTN Asia Growth (EUR). This 5 year investment is 100% capital protected if held to maturity, and is denominated in euro. It is aimed at investors seeking higher potential returns but with no risk to the invested capital.

Leveraging the expertise of its HSBC Group Research department to bring the best investment solutions to Malta, the new MTN Asia Growth has been created to tap into the growth potential of the largest equity indices of Singapore, Taiwan, Hong Kong and Australia.

The MTN requires a minimum investment of €2,500 and pays a maximum potential return of up to 40% after 5 years (6.96% annualised rate of return) based on the growth of the four indices. If, at the end of the investment period, the indices have shown no growth, investors will still benefit from 100% capital protection on their principal amount.

Investors can obtain a full description of the product and apply for the MTN Asia Growth now and until October 29 by visiting their nearest branch in Malta and Gozo. For more information, please visit www.hsbc.com.mt or call on 2380 2380.
