Tracker Certificate
A Tracker Certificate is a structured product that replicates the performance of an underlying asset on a near one-to-one basis, without leverage and generally without capital protection. It provides cost-efficient access to markets, indices, or strategies. Losses arise in proportion to a negative underlying asset performance.
