Risks

There may be significant risks associated with investing in Equity Lever, including:

• The risk that the Underlying Securities that your client selects will perform poorly over time and decrease the value of an investor's Instalment Receipt and/or result in an Instalment Acceleration Event
• The risk that leverage incorporated in the Instalment Receipts will magnify losses
• The risk of the occurrence of an Instalment Acceleration Event requiring the sale of the Underlying Securities
• The risk that because the Instalment Receipts are not listed your clients may not be able to buy or sell their instalment receipts when they want to
• The risk of Macquarie or the Security Trustee not performing their obligations under the Instalment Receipts
• The risk that the value of your clients' Instalment Receipts may not increase sufficiently to cover all interest and other amounts paid in respect of those Instalment Receipts
• The risk that the completion date of your clients' Instalment Receipts may be brought forward in a number of circumstances
• The risk of a change in tax or superannuation laws
• The risk of a rise in interest rates.

For a full description of the risks, see section four of the Equity Lever Combined Product Disclosure Statement and Financial Services Guide dated 1 February 2011.
