Structured Investment (or Structured Product) is a hybrid financial
instrument whose performance is linked to the your choice of
underlying asset. It offers an interesting risk-return profile that is not
possible with conventional bonds or equities. The payoff formula is
usually well-defined and transparent and are governed under the
current relevant Securities Commission Guidelines.
Dual Currency Investments (DCI)
A type of foreign exchange linked structured product investment.
Dual Currency Investment (DCI) is a type of foreign exchange linked structured product investment. DCI is a structured product with an embedded derivative (the Reference Derivative) linked to the performance of a pair of currencies which allows Investor to enjoy potentially higher returns than traditional deposits.
Prior to making an investment you will need to decide on the currency pair which shall be the Base (investment) Currency and the Alternate Currency, the tenor of the investment and the Conversion Rate. On maturity, you will receive the initial investment amount either in the Base Currency or the Alternate Currency depending on where the prevailing exchange rate of the currency pair settles against the Conversion Rate on the Expiry Date.
The Base Currency refers to the currency in which the initial Investment is made and Alternate Currency is the second currency of the chosen currency pair to be paired with the Base Currency for the DCI.
The initial investment will always be repaid in the weaker currency as determined on the Expiry Date. Regardless of the currency in which the initial investment amount is returned to you, the interest payable on the DCI will always be paid in the Base Currency. If the prevailing exchange rate is equal to the Conversion Rate on the Expiry Date, the Bank has the sole discretion to determine the currency in which the initial investment amount will be repaid.
DCI is not a principal protected investment.

The following scenarios are meant for illustration purposes and do not reflect the current or future market trends or performance of the DCI.
Scenario 1: The Base Currency weakens against the Alternate Currency. The Investment Amount will not be converted on the Expiry Date. On the Maturity Date you will receive:-
Investment Amount in the Base Currency + Interest in the Base Currency
= AUD 100,000 + AUD 175 = AUD 100,175
Calculations:
Interest = Investment Amount x Interest Rate x Investment Tenor/Day Count Convention
= AUD 100,000 x 9.00% x 7/360 = AUD 175
Scenario 2: The Base Currency strengthens against the Alternate Currency. The Investment Amount will be converted on the Expiry Date. On the Maturity Date you will receive:-
Investment Amount in the Alternate Currency + Interest in the Base Currency
= USD 91,200 + AUD 175
Calculations:
Investment Amount will be converted to the Alternate Currency at the Conversion Rate
= AUD 100,000 x 0.9120 = USD 91,200
Warning: DCI is not principal protected. If your investment is repaid in the Alternate Currency on maturity, and you choose to immediately convert it back to the Base Currency, you may receive less than the original Investment Amount.
Scenario 3: The Spot Rate is equal to the Conversion Rate on the Expiry Date.
For scenario 3, the Bank has the sole discretion to determine whether the Investment Amount will be repaid in the Base Currency (AUD100,000) or the Alternate Currency(USD 91,200). The Interest earned will be paid in the Base Currency (AUD 175)
Scenario 4: Unwinding Cost for Premature Termination/Cancellation
If the investment is terminated /cancelled before the maturity date, the actual amount to be returned to the Investor might be less than the initial Investment Amount.

Dual Currency Gold Investment (DCI Gold)
Gold and foreign currency linked structured product investment.
Dual Currency Gold Investment ("DCI Gold") is a gold and foreign currency linked structured product investment. This structured product has an embedded derivative (the Reference Derivative) that is linked to the performance of gold measured against a selected foreign currency offered by the Bank. Gold is internationally quoted as "XAU", which is the price of 1 Troy Ounce of gold in the particular foreign currency (e.g. "XAU/USD" means the price of 1 Troy Ounce of gold in US Dollars). The RHB Multi Currency Account ("MCA") includes gold as a currency in the MCA Gold Investment Account (MCA Gold IA) and any amount paid in gold under the terms of the particular DCI Gold will be credited into the MCA Gold IA. Investors should take note that there will be no entitlement for physical delivery of gold notwithstanding a credit balance in the MCA Gold IA.
Prior to making an investment, the Investor will need to decide on the currency pair which shall be the Base (Investment) Currency and the Alternate Currency, the Tenor of the investment, and the Conversion Rate. The Base Currency refers to the currency in which the initial investment is made and Alternate Currency is the second currency to be paired with the Base Currency for the DCI Gold. For example, if the Investor chooses gold as their Base Currency, the Alternate Currency will be foreign currency and vice versa. On the Start Date, the initial Investment Amount will be debited from the Investor´s MCA or MCA Gold IA.
On the Maturity Date, the initial Investment Amount will be paid in either gold or foreign currency, depending on which is the weaker currency based on the prevailing Spot Rate at 2pm KL time on the Expiry Date. Regardless of whether the initial investment is paid in either gold or foreign currency to the Investor, the interest payable on the DCI Gold will always be paid in the foreign currency. If the Spot Rate is equal to the Conversion Rate on the Expiry Date, the Bank has the sole discretion to determine the currency in which the initial Investment Amount will be repaid.
DCI Gold is not a principal protected investment.

Base Currency |
XAU | Alternate Currency | USD |
1000 Grams (GLD) = 32.1507 Troy Ounces (XAU) |
Scenario 1: On the Expiry Date (1 April 2014), the XAU has strengthened against the USD and the XAU/USD Spot Rate is above the Conversion Rate (XAU/USD Spot Rate > 1230). XAU is converted to USD. On the Maturity Date (3 April 2014), the Investor will receive:
Investment Amount converted to foreign currency + (Value of gold in foreign currency x Interest Rate x Investment Tenor/Day Count Convention)
Investment Amount converted to foreign currency
= 51.441 x 1230
= USD 63,272.43
Value of gold in foreign currency x Interest Rate x Investment Tenor/Day Count Convention
= (51.441 x 1250) x 11% x 7/360
= USD 137.53
Total Redemption Amount
= USD 63,272.43 + USD 137.53
= USD 63,409.96
Please note that the Interest Payable on the DCI Gold will always be paid in foreign currency
WARNING
There is a risk that the Investor would not be able to recoup the initial Investment Amount of GLD 1600 if the Investor chooses to immediately convert the USD received on Maturity Date (3 April 2014). Based on Scenario 1 (Section B), if the USD 63,409.96 received on the Maturity Date is immediately converted back to GLD at the Spot Rate of 1345 (3 April 2014), the amount converted would be GLD 1466**, which is less than the initial amount invested of GLD 1600.
** (USD 63,409.96/1345) x (1000/32.1507) = GLD 1466
Scenario 2: On the Expiry Date (1 April 2014), the XAU has weakened against the USD and the XAU/USD Spot Rate is below the Conversion Rate (XAU/USD < 1230). XAU is not converted to USD. On the Maturity Date (3 April 2014), the Investor will receive:
Investment Amount in gold + (Value of gold in foreign currency x interest rate x Investment Tenor/Day Count Convention)
Investment Amount in gold
= GLD 1600
Value of gold in foreign currency x Interest Rate x Investment Tenor/Day Count Convention
= (51.441 x 1250) x 11% x 7/360
= USD 137.53
Total Redemption Amount
= GLD 1600 + USD 135.33
** Please note that the Interest Payable on the DCI Gold will always be paid in foreign currency

One-Touch (OT)
Principal-protected investment with an embedded reference derivative.
One-Touch Structured Investment ("One-Touch") is a principal-protected investment with an embedded reference derivative. The performance of the embedded derivative will determine the interest payable for the Investment. At the inception of the Investment, the Investor agrees to the underlying currency pair for the One-Touch and the 'Trigger Rate'. The Trigger Rate which is a fixed upfront is the exchange rate of the currency pair which determines whether the Investor will receive the minimum or maximum interest on the Maturity Date. If the Spot Rate of the currency pair touches or equals to the Trigger Rate at any point in time during the Observation Period, the Investor will receive the Maximum Interest Rate. Otherwise, the Minimum Interest Rate will be paid to the Investor. The Observation Period for the One-Touch starts from the Trade Date and continues 24 hours each day until 2pm KL time on the Expiry Date. Please take note that the Minimum Interest Rate can be zero depending on the terms of the particular One-Touch Investment.
The initial Investment Amount is protected only if the investment is held until maturity.

Scenario 1: USD/CNH does not touch or does not equal to the Trigger Rate of 6.02 during the Observation Period from Trade Date (25 March 2014) until 2pm KL time on Expiry Date (29 December 2014). On the Maturity Date (31 December 2014), the Investor receives the Minimum Interest Rate of 2% p.a. plus the initial Investment Amount:-
Investment Amount + (Investment Amount x Minimum Interest Rate x Investment Tenor/Day Count Convention)
= USD 100,000 + (USD 100,000 X 2.00% X 279/360)
= USD 100,000 + USD 1,550
= USD 101,550
Scenario 2: USD/CNH touches or equals to the Trigger Rate of 6.02 on 3 July 2014 (within the Observation Period). On the Maturity Date, the Investor receives the Maximum Interest Rate of 4% p.a. plus the initial Investment Amount:-
Investment Amount + (Investment Amount x Maximum Interest Rate x Investment Tenor/Day Count Convention)
= USD 100,000 + (USD 100,000 X 4.00% X 279/360)
= USD 100,000 + USD 3,100
= USD 103,100
Scenario 3: On 1 July 2014, which is before the Maturity Date, the Investor decides to cancel their investment. The actual amount to be returned to the Investor depends on the Spot Rate of the currency pair less any unwinding cost arising from the cancellation. The Investor may receive an amount less than their initial investment:-

Foreign Exchange Range Accrual Structured Investment (FX-Range Accrual)
Principal protected investment with an embedded derivative.
Foreign Exchange Range Accrual Structured Investment ("FX-Range Accrual") is a principal protected investment with an embedded derivative. At the inception of the investment, the Investor agrees to the underlying currency pair and its Range. The Range which is fixed upfront is a set of exchange rates of the currency pair which forms the upper and lower limit for the FX-Range Accrual. The performance of the underlying currency pair will be determined on a daily basis during the Observation Period. The Interest payable on the investment will be paid on each Interest Payment Date determined by the actual number of days the Spot Rate of the underlying currency pair is within the Range (i.e. Lower Limit ≤ Spot Rate ≤ Upper Limit) for each Observation Period.
If the Spot Rate stays within the Range every day of the Observation Period, the Investor will receive the Maximum Interest Rate. If the Spot Rate stays outside the Range every day during the Observation Period, the Investor will receive the Minimum Interest Rate. If the Spot Rate moves within and outside of the Range during the Observation Period, the Investor will receive a Participating Interest Rate which is more than the Minimum Interest Rate but lower than the Maximum Interest Rate based on the total number of days the Spot Rate stays within the Range during the Observation Period.
Depending on the terms of the particular FX-Range Accrual, it may include a Callable feature which gives RHB Bank the right to terminate the FX-Range Accrual on any Interest Payment Date prior to the Maturity Date and return the initial Investment Amount together with any interest due up to the Call Date to the Investor.
The initial Investment Amount is protected only if the investment is held until maturity or in the event of a Call prior to maturity.

Participating Interest Rate | 1.00% ≤ Participating Interest Rate ≤ 5.75% | Interest Payment Frequency | Semi Annually |
The Interest Amount is payable in the Investment Currency and is calculated based on the below formula:
Investment Amount x [(Rmin) + (Rmax – Rmin) x n*/N**] x Actual number of days / Day Count Convention***
*n = Number of days in which the Spot Rate stays within the Range for each Observation Period
**N = Number of days in the Observation Period
***Day Count Convention refers to the number of days in the interest period as a fraction of the number of days in a year based on the applicable convention for the investment currency
Scenario 1: USD/MYR stays outside the Range of 3.4900 – 3.6200 every day during the Observation Period starting from 5 Feb 2015 to 3 Aug 2015. The number of days interest is accrued for this Observation Period is 0 days. The Investor will receive the Minimum Interest of MYR 495.89 for that Observation Period on the Interest Payment Date (5 Aug 2015):
Investment Amount x [(Rmin) + (Rmax – Rmin) x n*/N**] x Actual number of days / Day Count Convention***
= MYR 100,000 x [(1.00%) + (5.75% - 1.00%) x 0/180] x 181/365
= MYR 495.89
Please take note that the initial Investment Amount will only be paid on the Maturity Date (5 Feb 2016) which will be the final Interest Payment Date
Scenario 2: USD/MYR stays within the Range of 3.4900 – 3.6200 every day during the Observation Period starting from 5 Feb 2015 to 3 Aug 2015.

Principal protected investment with an embedded derivative.
Interest Rate Range Accrual Structured Investment ("IR-Range Accrual") is a principal protected investment with an embedded derivative. At the inception of the investment, the Investor agrees to the Reference Interest Rate and its Range. The Reference Interest Rate can be based on any interest rate index (such as 3 month KLIBOR, 6 month SIBOR or other reference index) and the Range is the upper and lower limit for the movement of interest rates of the chosen index during the tenor of the investment. The performance of the Reference Interest Rate will be determined on a daily basis during the Observation Period. The Interest payable on the investment will be paid on each Interest Payment Date determined by the actual number of days the Reference Interest Rate stays within the Range (Lower Limit ≤ Reference Interest Rate ≤ Upper Limit) for each Observation Period.
If the Reference Interest Rate stays within the Range every day of the Observation Period, the Investor will receive the Maximum Interest Rate. If the Reference Interest Rate stays outside the Range every day during the Observation Period, the Investor will receive the Minimum Interest Rate. If the Reference Interest Rate moves within and outside of the Range during the Observation Period, the Investor will receive a Participating Interest Rate which is more than the Minimum Interest Rate but lower than the Maximum Interest Rate based on the total number of days the Reference Interest Rate stays within the Range during the Observation Period. Please take note that the Minimum Interest Rate can be zero depending on the terms of the particular IR-Range Accrual.
Depending on the terms of the particular IR-Range Accrual, it may include a Callable feature which allows RHB Bank the right to terminate the IR-Range Accrual on any Interest Payment Date prior to the Maturity Date and return the initial Investment Amount together with any interest due up to the Call Date to the Investor.

Dual Currency Investment (DCI) is a type of foreign exchange linked structured product investment. DCI is a structured product with an embedded derivative (the Reference Derivative) linked to the performance of a pair of currencies which allows Investor to enjoy potentially higher returns than traditional deposits.
Prior to making an investment you will need to decide on the currency pair which shall be the Base (investment) Currency and the Alternate Currency, the tenor of the investment and the Conversion Rate. On maturity, you will receive the initial investment amount either in the Base Currency or the Alternate Currency depending on where the prevailing exchange rate of the currency pair settles against the Conversion Rate on the Expiry Date.
The Base Currency refers to the currency in which the initial Investment is made and Alternate Currency is the second currency of the chosen currency pair to be paired with the Base Currency for the DCI.
The initial investment will always be repaid in the weaker currency as determined on the Expiry Date. Regardless of the currency in which the initial investment amount is returned to you, the interest payable on the DCI will always be paid in the Base Currency. If the prevailing exchange rate is equal to the Conversion Rate on the Expiry Date, the Bank has the sole discretion to determine the currency in which the initial investment amount will be repaid.
DCI is not a principal protected investment.

The following scenarios are meant for illustration purposes and do not reflect the current or future market trends or performance of the DCI.
Scenario 1: The Base Currency weakens against the Alternate Currency. The Investment Amount will not be converted on the Expiry Date. On the Maturity Date you will receive:-
Investment Amount in the Base Currency + Interest in the Base Currency
= AUD 100,000 + AUD 175 = AUD 100,175
Calculations:
Interest = Investment Amount x Interest Rate x Investment Tenor/Day Count Convention
= AUD 100,000 x 9.00% x 7/360 = AUD 175
Scenario 2: The Base Currency strengthens against the Alternate Currency. The Investment Amount will be converted on the Expiry Date. On the Maturity Date you will receive:-
Investment Amount in the Alternate Currency + Interest in the Base Currency
= USD 91,200 + AUD 175
Calculations:
Investment Amount will be converted to the Alternate Currency at the Conversion Rate
= AUD 100,000 x 0.9120 = USD 91,200
Warning: DCI is not principal protected. If your investment is repaid in the Alternate Currency on maturity, and you choose to immediately convert it back to the Base Currency, you may receive less than the original Investment Amount.
Scenario 3: The Spot Rate is equal to the Conversion Rate on the Expiry Date.
For scenario 3, the Bank has the sole discretion to determine whether the Investment Amount will be repaid in the Base Currency (AUD100,000) or the Alternate Currency(USD 91,200). The Interest earned will be paid in the Base Currency (AUD 175)
Scenario 4: Unwinding Cost for Premature Termination/Cancellation
If the investment is terminated /cancelled before the maturity date, the actual amount to be returned to the Investor might be less than the initial Investment Amount.

An investor who is indifferent to either currency selected, has a need for both currencies, wants to diversify an investment portfolio and who is willing to accept exchange rate risks associated with this investment.
Dual Currency Gold Investment ("DCI Gold") is a gold and foreign currency linked structured product investment. This structured product has an embedded derivative (the Reference Derivative) that is linked to the performance of gold measured against a selected foreign currency offered by the Bank. Gold is internationally quoted as "XAU", which is the price of 1 Troy Ounce of gold in the particular foreign currency (e.g. "XAU/USD" means the price of 1 Troy Ounce of gold in US Dollars). The RHB Multi Currency Account ("MCA") includes gold as a currency in the MCA Gold Investment Account (MCA Gold IA) and any amount paid in gold under the terms of the particular DCI Gold will be credited into the MCA Gold IA. Investors should take note that there will be no entitlement for physical delivery of gold notwithstanding a credit balance in the MCA Gold IA.
Prior to making an investment, the Investor will need to decide on the currency pair which shall be the Base (Investment) Currency and the Alternate Currency, the Tenor of the investment, and the Conversion Rate. The Base Currency refers to the currency in which the initial investment is made and Alternate Currency is the second currency to be paired with the Base Currency for the DCI Gold. For example, if the Investor chooses gold as their Base Currency, the Alternate Currency will be foreign currency and vice versa. On the Start Date, the initial Investment Amount will be debited from the Investor´s MCA or MCA Gold IA.
On the Maturity Date, the initial Investment Amount will be paid in either gold or foreign currency, depending on which is the weaker currency based on the prevailing Spot Rate at 2pm KL time on the Expiry Date. Regardless of whether the initial investment is paid in either gold or foreign currency to the Investor, the interest payable on the DCI Gold will always be paid in the foreign currency. If the Spot Rate is equal to the Conversion Rate on the Expiry Date, the Bank has the sole discretion to determine the currency in which the initial Investment Amount will be repaid.
DCI Gold is not a principal protected investment.

Investment Amount converted to foreign currency
= 51.441 x 1230
= USD 63,272.43
Value of gold in foreign currency x Interest Rate x Investment Tenor/Day Count Convention
= (51.441 x 1250) x 11% x 7/360
= USD 137.53
Total Redemption Amount
= USD 63,272.43 + USD 137.53
= USD 63,409.96
Please note that the Interest Payable on the DCI Gold will always be paid in foreign currency
WARNING
There is a risk that the Investor would not be able to recoup the initial Investment Amount of GLD 1600 if the Investor chooses to immediately convert the USD received on Maturity Date (3 April 2014). Based on Scenario 1 (Section B), if the USD 63,409.96 received on the Maturity Date is immediately converted back to GLD at the Spot Rate of 1345 (3 April 2014), the amount converted would be GLD 1466**, which is less than the initial amount invested of GLD 1600.
** (USD 63,409.96/1345) x (1000/32.1507) = GLD 1466
Scenario 2: On the Expiry Date (1 April 2014), the XAU has weakened against the USD and the XAU/USD Spot Rate is below the Conversion Rate (XAU/USD < 1230). XAU is not converted to USD. On the Maturity Date (3 April 2014), the Investor will receive:

One-Touch Structured Investment ("One-Touch") is a principal-protected investment with an embedded reference derivative. The performance of the embedded derivative will determine the interest payable for the Investment. At the inception of the Investment, the Investor agrees to the underlying currency pair for the One-Touch and the 'Trigger Rate'. The Trigger Rate which is a fixed upfront is the exchange rate of the currency pair which determines whether the Investor will receive the minimum or maximum interest on the Maturity Date. If the Spot Rate of the currency pair touches or equals to the Trigger Rate at any point in time during the Observation Period, the Investor will receive the Maximum Interest Rate. Otherwise, the Minimum Interest Rate will be paid to the Investor. The Observation Period for the One-Touch starts from the Trade Date and continues 24 hours each day until 2pm KL time on the Expiry Date. Please take note that the Minimum Interest Rate can be zero depending on the terms of the particular One-Touch Investment.
The initial Investment Amount is protected only if the investment is held until maturity.

Scenario 1: USD/CNH does not touch or does not equal to the Trigger Rate of 6.02 during the Observation Period from Trade Date (25 March 2014) until 2pm KL time on Expiry Date (29 December 2014). On the Maturity Date (31 December 2014), the Investor receives the Minimum Interest Rate of 2% p.a. plus the initial Investment Amount:-
Investment Amount + (Investment Amount x Minimum Interest Rate x Investment Tenor/Day Count Convention)
= USD 100,000 + (USD 100,000 X 2.00% X 279/360)
= USD 100,000 + USD 1,550
= USD 101,550
Scenario 2: USD/CNH touches or equals to the Trigger Rate of 6.02 on 3 July 2014 (within the Observation Period). On the Maturity Date, the Investor receives the Maximum Interest Rate of 4% p.a. plus the initial Investment Amount:-
Investment Amount + (Investment Amount x Maximum Interest Rate x Investment Tenor/Day Count Convention)
= USD 100,000 + (USD 100,000 X 4.00% X 279/360)
= USD 100,000 + USD 3,100
= USD 103,100
Scenario 3: On 1 July 2014, which is before the Maturity Date, the Investor decides to cancel their investment. The actual amount to be returned to the Investor depends on the Spot Rate of the currency pair less any unwinding cost arising from the cancellation. The Investor may receive an amount less than their initial investment:-

Foreign Exchange Range Accrual Structured Investment ("FX-Range Accrual") is a principal protected investment with an embedded derivative. At the inception of the investment, the Investor agrees to the underlying currency pair and its Range. The Range which is fixed upfront is a set of exchange rates of the currency pair which forms the upper and lower limit for the FX-Range Accrual. The performance of the underlying currency pair will be determined on a daily basis during the Observation Period. The Interest payable on the investment will be paid on each Interest Payment Date determined by the actual number of days the Spot Rate of the underlying currency pair is within the Range (i.e. Lower Limit ≤ Spot Rate ≤ Upper Limit) for each Observation Period.
If the Spot Rate stays within the Range every day of the Observation Period, the Investor will receive the Maximum Interest Rate. If the Spot Rate stays outside the Range every day during the Observation Period, the Investor will receive the Minimum Interest Rate. If the Spot Rate moves within and outside of the Range during the Observation Period, the Investor will receive a Participating Interest Rate which is more than the Minimum Interest Rate but lower than the Maximum Interest Rate based on the total number of days the Spot Rate stays within the Range during the Observation Period.
Depending on the terms of the particular FX-Range Accrual, it may include a Callable feature which gives RHB Bank the right to terminate the FX-Range Accrual on any Interest Payment Date prior to the Maturity Date and return the initial Investment Amount together with any interest due up to the Call Date to the Investor.
The initial Investment Amount is protected only if the investment is held until maturity or in the event of a Call prior to maturity.

Participating Interest Rate | 1.00% ≤ Participating Interest Rate ≤ 5.75% | Interest Payment Frequency | Semi Annually |
The Interest Amount is payable in the Investment Currency and is calculated based on the below formula:
Investment Amount x [(Rmin) + (Rmax – Rmin) x n*/N**] x Actual number of days / Day Count Convention***
*n = Number of days in which the Spot Rate stays within the Range for each Observation Period
**N = Number of days in the Observation Period
***Day Count Convention refers to the number of days in the interest period as a fraction of the number of days in a year based on the applicable convention for the investment currency
Scenario 1: USD/MYR stays outside the Range of 3.4900 – 3.6200 every day during the Observation Period starting from 5 Feb 2015 to 3 Aug 2015. The number of days interest is accrued for this Observation Period is 0 days. The Investor will receive the Minimum Interest of MYR 495.89 for that Observation Period on the Interest Payment Date (5 Aug 2015):
Investment Amount x [(Rmin) + (Rmax – Rmin) x n*/N**] x Actual number of days / Day Count Convention***
= MYR 100,000 x [(1.00%) + (5.75% - 1.00%) x 0/180] x 181/365
= MYR 495.89
Please take note that the initial Investment Amount will only be paid on the Maturity Date (5 Feb 2016) which will be the final Interest Payment Date
Scenario 2: USD/MYR stays within the Range of 3.4900 – 3.6200 every day during the Observation Period starting from 5 Feb 2015 to 3 Aug 2015. The number of days interest is accrued for this Observation Period is 180 days. The Investor will receive the Maximum Interest of MYR 2851.37 for that Observation Period on the Interest Payment Date (5 Aug 2015):
Investment Amount x [(Rmin) + (Rmax – Rmin) x n*/N**] x Actual number of days / Day Count Convention***
= MYR 100,000 x [(1.00%) + (5.75% - 1.00%) x 180/180] x 181/365
= MYR 2851.37
Please take note that the initial Investment Amount will only be paid on the Maturity Date (5 Feb 2016) which will be the final Interest Payment Date
Scenario 3: USD/MYR stays within the Range of 3.4900 – 3.6200 for 110 days during the Observation Period starting from 5 Feb 2015 to 3 Aug 2015. The number of days interest is accrued for this Observation Period is 110 days. The Investor will receive the Participating Interest of MYR 1935.35 for that Observation Period on the Interest Payment Date (5 Aug 2015):
= Investment Amount x [(Rmin) + (Rmax – Rmin) x n*/N**] x Actual number of days / Day Count Convention***
= MYR 100,000 x [(1.00%) + (5.75% - 1.00%) x 110/180] x 181/365
= MYR 1935.35
Please take note that the initial Investment Amount will only be paid on the Maturity Date (5 Feb 2016) which will be the final Interest Payment Date
Scenario 4: On 28 July 2015, which is before the Maturity Date, the Investor decides to terminate their investment.

Interest Rate Range Accrual Structured Investment ("IR-Range Accrual") is a principal protected investment with an embedded derivative. At the inception of the investment, the Investor agrees to the Reference Interest Rate and its Range. The Reference Interest Rate can be based on any interest rate index (such as 3 month KLIBOR, 6 month SIBOR or other reference index) and the Range is the upper and lower limit for the movement of interest rates of the chosen index during the tenor of the investment. The performance of the Reference Interest Rate will be determined on a daily basis during the Observation Period. The Interest payable on the investment will be paid on each Interest Payment Date determined by the actual number of days the Reference Interest Rate stays within the Range (Lower Limit ≤ Reference Interest Rate ≤ Upper Limit) for each Observation Period.
If the Reference Interest Rate stays within the Range every day of the Observation Period, the Investor will receive the Maximum Interest Rate. If the Reference Interest Rate stays outside the Range every day during the Observation Period, the Investor will receive the Minimum Interest Rate. If the Reference Interest Rate moves within and outside of the Range during the Observation Period, the Investor will receive a Participating Interest Rate which is more than the Minimum Interest Rate but lower than the Maximum Interest Rate based on the total number of days the Reference Interest Rate stays within the Range during the Observation Period. Please take note that the Minimum Interest Rate can be zero depending on the terms of the particular IR-Range Accrual.
Depending on the terms of the particular IR-Range Accrual, it may include a Callable feature which allows RHB Bank the right to terminate the IR-Range Accrual on any Interest Payment Date prior to the Maturity Date and return the initial Investment Amount together with any interest due up to the Call Date to the Investor.
The initial Investment Amount is protected only if the investment is held until maturity or in the event of a Call prior to maturity.
