A ‘Market Participation Note’ (or MPN) EMTN is a debt security, usually with 100% capital protection, which pays a gain at maturity proportional to the positive performance of an underlying asset (share, basket of shares or index). This gain is also known as a ‘participation’ in the performance.
In return for capital protection, participation in the positive performance of the underlying is often only partial. At final maturity, investors receive their capital plus a bonus if the underlying has performed positively since its initial observation level.
In the event of a negative performance of the underlying, the capital invested is repaid in full at final maturity (capital protection).
