👉 Real-world example: Rally Dec 2024 |
In December, Arta created a structured note designed for investors bullish on both Microsoft and Google: |
1-Year Fixed Return: If both stocks are up, receive a 17.7% fixed return and principal back. 3-Year Leverage: If extended, earn 200% upside exposure on the lower-performing stock. Downside Protection: If stocks are down after 3 years, enjoy 20% principal protection against losses. Minimum Investment: $25,000 Annual Fee: 0.50% |
Next week, Arta will be releasing another structured note with equally exciting features, so join now to participate. |
