Factor Certificates enable investors to participate with a leverage effect in the performance of the underlying. The certificates have a constant leverage factor, no knock-out and are open-ended. Short Factor Certificates provide investors with above average profit opportunities in falling markets.

Please note: The leverage effect of a Factor Certificate means that fluctuations in the value of the underlying have a disproportionate impact on the value of the Factor Certificate. Even small price fluctuations against the investor's market opinion can lead to the loss of a substantial part of the capital invested, up to a total loss. If the underlying of the certificate is a future (e.g. in the case of commodities), the issue of rolling must be taken into account. Investors are also exposed to the exchange rate risk if the currency of the underlying does not equal the currency of the Factor Certificate. "Issuer risk / creditor participation": Certificates are not covered by the deposit protection system. There is a risk that Raiffeisen Bank International AG may not be able to meet its payment obligations due to insolvency (issuer risk) or any official orders ("bail-in"). In such cases, the invested capital may be lost in full.

Factor Certificates are not suitable for long-term investment.
