Bonus enhanced note on Tencent & Ping An Insurance

We view the current sell off an opportunity to invest as the concerns on Tencent are overdone, as it aims to invest in new areas to sustain its high growth rate of the past years.

Both Tencent and Ping An Insurance are domestic focused and have little or no exposure to US, hence would be less likely to be affected by any subsequent escalations in trade issues between China and US.

We propose a bonus enhanced note with a knock in feature to enable conditional protection of the note investment.
