NASDAQ-100 FUTURES
35% DEFINED VOLATILITY 6% DECREMENT

Source: Bloomberg, BNP Paribas from  to.

​​​​​​​¹ The Nasdaq-100 Futures 35% Defined Volatility 6% Decrement Index is an “Excess Return Index” meaning its returns are derived from changes in the level of its components (known as “price return”) and profit or loss gained from rolling from one futures contract to another (known as “roll return”). Unlike Total Return Indices, it does not derive returns based on interest earned on cash or other collateral deposited in connection with the
purchase of futures contracts (known as “collateral return”).

Past performance is not an indicator of future performance. The Nasdaq-100 Futures 35% Defined Volatility 6% Decrement Index is based on Hypothetical Past Performance Data (”PPD”) prior to the Index Launch Date on , actual/historical performance begins after Launch Date. Because the Nasdaq-100 Futures 35% Defined Volatility 6% Decrement Index did not exist prior to the Launch Date, all retrospective levels provided in the graph and table above are simulated and must be considered illustrative only. The presentation of hypothetical data reflects the deduction of fees and charges. These simulations are the result of estimates made by BNP Paribas at a given moment on the basis of the parameters selected by BNP Paribas, certain assumptions that may or may not hold in future periods, of market conditions at this given moment and of historical data, which should not be used as guidance, in any way, of the future results of the Nasdaq-100 Futures 35% Dened Volatility 6% Decrement Index.

Actual performance may bear little relation to the hypothetical historical results. Hypothetical past performance is based on criteria applied retroactively with the benet of hindsight and knowledge of factors that may have positively affected its performance, and cannot account for all nancial risk that may affect the actual performance of the Index.
Hypothetical past performance might not reflect all possible market conditions. The Index may perform differently under other market conditions.
