RBC to price market-linked step-up notes linked to S&P 500 index
By Angela McDaniels
Tacoma, Wash., Feb. 27 – Royal Bank of Canada plans to price 0% market-linked step-up notes due March 2019 linked to the S&P 500 index, according to an FWP filing with the Securities and Exchange Commission.
If the final index level is greater than the step-up value, the payout at maturity will be par of $10 plus the index return. The step-up value is expected to be 110% to 116% of the initial index level.
If the final index level is greater than or equal to the initial level but less than or equal to the step-up value, the payout will be par plus the step-up payment, which is expected to be 10% to 16%.
If the final index level is less than the initial level, investors will have one-to-one exposure to the decline.
The exact terms will be set at pricing.
BofA Merrill Lynch is the agent.
The notes will price in March and settle in April.
