RBC offers new commodity booster notes
TORONTO, March 27, 2007 — RBC today launched the RBC
Commodity Booster Notes, Series 1 in response to investor
demand for innovative commodity structures.
Offering 100 per cent principal protection, the RBC Commodity
Booster Notes give investors access to a basket of commodities
that includes crude oil, copper, nickel and zinc. For any
appreciation in the commodity basket above zero per cent and
less than 45 per cent, the Notes will return 45 per cent at
maturity - the "Booster Zone". For any appreciation
greater than 45 per cent, the investor will receive the full
appreciation of the commodity basket at maturity. Should the
change in the commodity basket be less than zero per cent,
investors will receive their original principal amount at
maturity. The Notes are issued in Canadian dollars and there
is no direct foreign currency exposure.
The RBC Commodity Booster Notes can be purchased through
FundSERV (code RBC321) and are available to self-directed
investors, as well as through investment advisors and financial
planners up until April 20, 2007. With a maturity date of
April 27, 2012, these Notes are 100 per cent RRSP eligible.
