These risk considerations may not be exhaustive. Any potential user of the BNP Paribas Indices should consult with financial and other advisors as it deems appropriate.
Selected Risk Considerations related to the Hypothetical Performance:
• Future performance of the strategies may be worse than past and hypothetical historical results. Certain levels are simulated and must be considered hypothetical and illustrative only. The actual performance of the strategies may bear little relation to the hypothetical historical results.
• Hypothetical past performance is based on criteria applied retroactively with the benefit of hindsight and knowledge of factors that may have positively affected its performance, and cannot account for all financial risk that may affect the actual performance of the strategies.
• Hypothetical past performance might not reflect all possible market conditions. The strategies might behave differently under other market conditions.
Little information is available publicly about the Indices; additional information regarding the methodology and rules related to the strategies is available upon request.
