WHAT RISKS SHOULD I BE AWARE OF?
The key thing to understand is that your losses can
exceed a direct investment in the underlying asset,
and as we have seen, the value of the product can
go down as well as up.
Importantly, the underlying assets can be volatile
which can lead to large movements in price;
either for you, or against you.
The Knock Out Level will protect you from
unlimited losses, but if it is touched the product
will expire, and you could lose all of your
investment.
The last important point is that Infinite Turbos
are issued by a Societe Generale company, as
such any failure by Societe Generale to make
payments due may result in the loss of all or part
of your investment.
