Bank, acting as a broker, get 2 parties or more together to enter into a deal. One party is you guys, the other party is whoever wants to give up the total return on Hengsheng Index. Bank is entitled to receive commission on that deal.
Now, the other party will collect money from you guys.
However, the bank probably purchases a principle protection insurance for you guys. So they can make sure that you get your principle back no matter HSI is up or down 5 years from now.
It is not worth it. First at all, it is OTC. Any party may void their committment for whatevr the reason. Secondly, 5 year lockup is too long. You have to consider the opportunity cost.
