40% DEFINED VOLATILITY 6% DECREMENT

​​​​​​​¹  The Nasdaq-100 Futures 40% 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 40% 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 40% 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 40% Defined Volatility 6% Decrement Index.

• The Index might underperform the Nasdaq-100 Index to the 6% synthetic dividend.
• The methodology underlying the Index may not be successful — No assurance can be given that the strategy or objectives of the Index will be achieved.
• Numerous factors (including, but not limited to, changes in: interest rates, investor expectations, economic results, regulations, liquidity) may affect the components of the Index and the performance of the Index.
• The Index involves synthetic execution and may not reect actual market activity.

Selected Risk Considerations related to the Hypothetical Performance:
Future performance may be worse than past and hypothetical historical results. Certain levels are simulated and must be considered hypothetical and illustrative only. 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 financial risk that may affect the actual performance of the Index.
Hypothetical past performance might not reect all possible market conditions. The Index may perform differently under other market conditions.
Little information is available publicly about the Index. Additional information regarding the methodology and rules related to the Index are available upon request
