서울--(뉴스와이어)--Citibank Korea (CEO, Ha Yung Ku, www.citibank.co.kr) has launched ‘New Start Korea ELD’(until June 23, 2010) and ‘i-Smart ELD’(June 25, 2010) that will be on offer temporarily. These products are time deposits whose principal is partially or totally linked to market index, and are suitable for customers who want their principal amounts to be protected at maturity or who seek investment returns that are greater than those of ordinary time deposits.(As fees are charged on early redemption, investors may be exposed to potential principal loss)

‘New Start Korea ELD’ offers 12.82% p.a.(before tax) of maximum yield and has a tenor of 1.5 year, and is linked to Kospi 200 Index. ‘New Start Korea ELD’ provides a fixed rate of 3.7% p.a. (before tax) if the Kospi 200 Index ever exceeds the benchmark index by 40% or more on initial day, and rates of min 0% to max 12.82% p.a. depending on the index's actual growth if the index does not ever outperform Kospi200 on initial day by 40% or more.

‘i-Smart ELD’ offers a maximum yield of 18.65 % p.a. (before tax) on tenor of 1.5 year, linked to stock price of Samsung Electronics and Apple Inc. ‘i-Smart ELD’ provides a fixed rate of 3.7% p.a. (before tax) if the both prices ever exceeds the benchmark price by 40% or more on initial day, and rates of min 0% to max 18.65% p.a. depending on the actual growth of the worst performer if the both prices do not ever outperform the prices on initial day by 40% or more.

Customers who subscribe to ‘New Start Korea ELD’ and ‘i-Smart ELD’, will get special rates on CD(4.2 %, before tax) up to their ELD subscription amount if they open both CD and ELD accounts with tenor of 1 year or more, which will be an excellent opportunity for customers to enjoy rates higher than BM rate or exception rates normally offered for deposit products.

As financial markets grow more volatile recently and varied investment products make negative returns, these Linked Deposits are drawing keen attention from customers who want 100% principal protection plus high returns. The Linked Deposits return full principal amounts to subscribers at maturity even if the concerned indices decline and offer opportunities to invest in diverse underlying assets without risking principal loss as long as they are not redeemed early.

*Note : Principal protection is assured only if the products are held to maturity. Early redemption results in rate of 0% and early redemption fees will risk principal. Even at maturity, the rate may be 0% depending on the movement of the linked index.
