2 What are structural notes? fixed coupon floating coupon. Straight Debt Interest ate Derivatives (Embeddos) ( ) The Federal Home Loan Bank (FHLB) Federal National Mortgage Association (FNMA) Federal Home Loan Mortgage Corporation (FHLMC) => Although the credit risk of these securities is minimal, other risks such as interest rate risk, market (price) risk, and liquidity risk can be material

3 Why have structural notes become popular?. They offer the potential for greater returns than prevailing market rates.. They can serve to hedge risks faced by the investor. A company which is long (owns) Japanese yen is exposed to the risk of yen depreciation. The FHLB issued a one-year structured range note which accrued interest daily at 7% if the JPY/US$ > or at 0% if the JPY/US$ If the yen depreciates, the note accrues interest at an above-market rate. Meanwhile, the company s yen holdings will decline in value.. To take a market view. In the above example an investor who believed that the dollar would appreciate against the yen would be compensated handsomely for being correct. However, if the investor s view proved incorrect, he would be locked into an investment which paid no interest for a period of up to one year.

4 Common Types of Structural Notes Inverse Floating-ate Notes Dual-Index Notes Index-Amortizing Notes (IAN) De-Leveraged and Leveraged Floaters ange Notes (ange Floaters)

5 Common Types of Structural Notes Inverse Floating-ate Notes coupon (reference rate) Ex : 3yr, semi-annual coupon = 3% - LIBO, floor 0% Dual-Index Notes Coupon2 market index Market Index : the prime rate, LIBO, CMT yields Ex : prime rate 250 basis points 6m LIBO Index-Amortizing Notes (IAN) An IAN is a form of structured note for which the outstanding principal or note amortizes according to a predetermined schedule. The predetermined amortization schedule is linked to the level of a designated index (such as LIBO, CMT, etc.)

6 Common Types of Structural Notes De-Leveraged and Leveraged Floaters De-leveraged floaters : year CMT 00 basis points Leveraged floaters :.25 LIBO 00 basis points Leverage interest rate risk. Ex : yr cpn 4.5%, 5yr CMT 5.39%, 0yr CMT 6.7% 2-5yr cpn = year CMT 50 basis points Performance yr cpn 2-5yr cpn YTM (Par Yield) Performance ( YTM 5yr CMT) 0yr CMT 0.5% change 4.50% ( )*0.7.5 = 5.469% 5.255% 5.255% %= -0.65% 0yr CMT % change 4.50% (6.7)*0.7.5 = 6.59% 6.066% 6.066% %= 0.676%

7 ange Notes CouponMarket Index ange Notes2 coupon level. Higher coupon rate : the index remains within a designated range Lower coupon rate : the index falls outside the range => Digital Options (Binary Options) Coupon = c c h l : if : if H L L < or < H Market Index : interest rates, currencies, commodities, and equities

8 Digital Options (Binary Options) Option that pays off a fixed amount if the value of the underlying is beyond a specified level (strike) at a point in time (the expiry date). Cash or nothing digital option Asset or nothing digital option. Digital options are sometimes called binary options. Cash-or-nothing call option A digital that pays $00,000 if the S&P 500 Index exceeds,300 on December 3, It pays nothing otherwise. Asset-or-nothing call option A digital that pays a share of IBM if the price of the IBM share exceeds $00.
