HSBC Bank Malta plc launched a new Medium Term Note (MTN), the MTN Libor (GBP). This five-year investment is 100 per cent capital protected if held to maturity, and is denominated in Sterling. It is aimed at investors seeking higher potential returns but with no risk to the invested capital.

Leveraging the expertise of the HSBC Group to bring the best investment solutions to Malta, the new MTN Libor (GBP) has been created to benefit from the value of three month Libor GBP rate.

At the end of each year, customers are paid the Euribor rate as determined on fixing date. If the Libor rate is below 1.13 per cent per annum, customers will receive a guaranteed minimum payment of 1.13 per cent per annum. If the Libor rate is above 1.13 per cent per annum, customers will receive the Libor rate, at a maximum of five per cent per annum. On maturity date, customers will receive their final coupon payment and a guaranteed 100 per cent of the invested capital.
