What Is the Investec ASX 200 Autocall?
The Investec ASX 200 Autocall is a listed structured investment that offers South African investors exposure to the Australian equity market,  specifically the S&P/ASX 200 Index in ZAR, and with defined return triggers.

It forms the first Investment Profile within the FIN, which is listed on the JSE and issued by Investec Bank Limited (IBL).

Investment Objectives
Australia is consistently ranked among the top 15 economies globally in terms of GDP, reflecting its significant economic stature.

Following the global pandemic, the country has experienced a robust rebound, supported by strong fiscal and monetary policies that continue to underpin stable growth.

The services sector, encompassing finance, education, healthcare, and tourism, is a major contributor to Australia’s GDP. Additionally, the nation boasts a substantial mining sector, being a major exporter of iron ore, coal, and natural gas. As a developed market, Australia enjoys low unemployment and high consumer confidence, with consumer spending expected to continue contributing positively to GDP growth.

The S&P/ASX 200 Index (‘Index’) is one of the largest stock markets globally. One of the key reasons why the ASX has shown such stable growth is due to the diverse range of industries and companies making up the index. Over the past 20 years, the index has recorded returns of 8.2% per annum. In the medium term, its high exposure to financials and materials are set to drive its growth in an environment of upward commodity prices and increased liquidity due to stimulus policy.

Is This Note Suitable for Everyone?
This is a structured product with a specific return mechanism and timeline. It may appeal to investors who:
  • Want index-linked exposure with defined return triggers
  • Prefer to invest in ZAR while accessing international markets
  • Are willing to stay invested for up to 5 years
  • For South African investors, it offers geographic and currency diversification, without converting to a foreign currency.
