    Hi,

    Has anyone here looked at CBA's Capital Series Australia product? They are giving a return in line with the ASX200 index, with capital protection, over a 5.5 year period. At the end of the period they give you some STW (SPDR ASX 200) shares, which have they same value of the growth in the index.

    However, I can not work out how they fund the capital protection?

    Does anyone know how the capital protection works? Or does anyone have a link to a Aegsis or Loansec review of the product?

    Thanks,
    Ashley

    Interesting read Moreld.

    I'll be sticking to AXA North.

    Cheers,

    The reason I read these PDSs is to try and work out how they work. And this one had a lot less information then I expected. The investment is only about 40 pages (of which about 4 pages actually talks about the investment), the rest is the investment loan.


    So am I right in assuming that the S&P ASX200 index, does not include divendends?
    Would it be more correct for them to use the term S&P ASX 200 Accumulation Index?

    As that is a very fine point (one word missing).

    Hi Ashwright
    Yes one little word makes the world of difference.
    You are right in assuming that the S&P ASX200 index, does not include dividends.
    There would be no profit for them if they used the accumulation index.
