Key risks

Exchange rate risk

• Foreign currency fluctuations resulting in a capital loss by way of an increase in the principal amount (on conversion upon default) or interest payment may outweigh benefits of the loanl.

Clawback process

• Margin Call - if loan value ratio (LVR) increases by 5 percentage points (5%) above the approved LVR, then customer must reduce LVR back to approved level by either paying down the loan or adding further security.
• Close Out - if loan value ratio (LVR) increases by 10 percentage points (10%) above the approved LVR, then the loan is converted back to the property currency which may result in a capital loss. Upon conversion to property currency, the principal will need to be reduced or security increased to reduce the LVR back to the original approved limit. Quantum, frequency, and the timing of security valuation are at the Bank’s discretion.
