Recital 20

Recital 20

20. During its review, ESMA also obtained information on existing products that at the end of the term have one of two predetermined pay-outs, neither of which is less than the initial investment. The pay-out for this type of binary option could be the higher or the lower one, but in both circumstances the investor would not lose money compared to its total investment in the product. Decision (EU) 2018/795 targets products with the risk that investors face substantial losses in relation to their total investment in the product. Therefore, for reasons of legal certainty, this renewal should explicitly exclude products whose payoff structure does not put the investor's capital at risk.
