The base index rebalances oneach index business day based on the historical returns of these underlying assets in order to create aportfolio generating the highest historical returns, subject to a set of predefined rules and constraints,including a realized volatility limit and minimum and maximum asset and asset class weights. Theoverall amount of exposure the index provides to this base index may also be reduced and allocated tonon-interest bearing cash positions based on the application of (i) a realized volatility control of 5% and(ii) a momentum risk control feature.The overall goal of the index is to provide exposure to a daily rebalancing of the combination of underlying assets with the strongest historical returns with realized volatility lower than the volatilitylimit while limiting the index’s overall volatility level and reducing exposure to assets that have exhibitedthe weakest price momentum.The daily base index return is subject to a deduction equal to the return on the federal funds rate and, in addition, the entire index is subject to a deduction of 0.65% per annum (accruingdaily).The net effect of the deduction for the federal funds rate on the base index and the 0.65% deduction on the full index means that any aggregate exposure to the return-based money market position or thenon-interest bearing cash positions will reduce the index performance on a pro rata basis by 0.65%.Avery significant portion of the index has been, and may be in the future, allocated to the return-based money market position and the non-interest bearing cash positions.For more information about the index, including its fees and deductions, see “Index Summary”. $885 to $925 per $1,000 face amount, which is less than the original issue price.
