  • High Yield Deposit

  • High Yield Deposit is an FX Linked Deposit in which you will get back the principal and receive interest:

  • in the Deposit Currency if the Linked Currency is stay put or even appreciate against the Deposit Currency with respect to the Initial Exchange Rate at a pre-determined time ("Fixing Time") on a pre-determined date ("Fixing Date"); or

  • in the Linked Currency if the Linked Currency depreciate against Deposit Currency with respect to the Initial Exchange Rate at the Fixing Time on the Fixing Date where the principal and the interest are converted to the linked currency at the pre-determined Initial Exchange Rate.

Customer's View: Expect AUD/USD to trade at or above 0.7805 after 1 month (bullish on AUD)
Deposit Currency: USD
Linked Currency: AUD
Currency Pair: AUD/USD
Principal Amount: USD100,000
Deposit Period: 1 month
Initial Exchange Rate: 0.7805
Interest Rate: 6% per annum

The investment return depends on the AUD/USD spot exchange rate at the Fixing Time on the Fixing Date ("Fixing Exchange Rate"):

Payoff Diagram

payoff diagram

If the bank becomes insolvent or defaults on its obligations, the customer may get nothing back and suffer a total loss of the Principal Amount.

In addition to the movement of the Linked Currency, if the customer's home currency is not the Deposit Currency, the customer's total realized gain or loss (in terms of the home currency) will also depend on the fluctuation of the exchange rate between the Deposit Currency and the customer's home currency. If the Deposit Currency depreciates against the customer's home currency, the potential loss arising from such exchange rate movement may offset (or even exceed) the potential return received from the product. To the extreme, if the Deposit Currency becomes valueless on the Maturity Date, then the customer will still suffer total loss (i.e. 100% loss) when the customer converts the maturity proceeds back to the customer's home currency on the Maturity Date. Conversely, if the Deposit Currency appreciates against the customer's home currency, the potential profit arising from such exchange rate movement may enhance the customer's total realized return.

Taking the Best Case Scenario above where the total payoff customer receives at maturity is USD100,500, assuming that HKD is customer's home currency and he/she chooses to convert the payoff back to HKD at maturity, the customer total realized gain/loss of this investment is shown below:
