Rhea-AI Filing Summary

Bank of Montreal (BMO) is marketing Auto-Callable Market Linked Securities with Contingent Coupons, Memory Feature and Contingent Downside Principal at Risk, linked to the worst performer among Apple Inc., Broadcom Inc. and McDonald’s Corporation. The $1,000-denominated notes price on 11 Jul 2025, settle on 16 Jul 2025 and mature on 14 Jul 2028 (3-year tenor unless called earlier).

Income profile: Investors receive a quarterly contingent coupon of at least 21.25 % p.a. (5.3125 % per quarter) provided the worst-performing underlier is ≥ 80 % of its starting value on the relevant calculation day. The “memory” feature adds any missed coupons once the threshold is next met.

Auto-call: From Oct 2025 to Apr 2028, if the worst performer is ≥ its starting value on a calculation day, the notes are automatically called at par plus the coupon, ending the investment early and creating reinvestment risk.

Principal repayment: If not previously called, at maturity holders receive: (i) 100 % of face if the worst performer is ≥ 70 % of its starting value; or (ii) par × performance factor of the worst performer if it is < 70 %. Investors therefore face full downside exposure below the 30 % buffer and could lose all principal.

Key structural terms: Starting values set on pricing date; coupon threshold 80 %; downside threshold 70 %; estimated initial value disclosed as $966.40 (96.64 % of face) and will not be less than $916.00. Agent discount up to 2.325 %; additional dealer fees up to 0.30 %.

Risks highlighted: conditional coupons (may receive none), potential loss of > 30 % of principal, reliance on worst performer, credit risk to BMO, illiquid secondary market, pricing transparency, and uncertain U.S. tax treatment. The notes are unsecured, not FDIC-insured and will not list on any exchange.

La Bank of Montreal (BMO) offre titoli legati al mercato con opzione Auto-Callable, coupon condizionali, funzione memoria e rischio principale condizionato al ribasso, collegati al peggior titolo tra Apple Inc., Broadcom Inc. e McDonald’s Corporation. I titoli denominati $1.000 hanno prezzo il 11 lug 2025, regolamento il 16 lug 2025 e scadenza il 14 lug 2028 (durata di 3 anni salvo richiamo anticipato).

Profilo di rendimento: Gli investitori ricevono un coupon trimestrale condizionale di almeno il 21,25% annuo (5,3125% per trimestre) se il peggior titolo sottostante è ≥ 80% del valore iniziale nel giorno di calcolo. La funzione “memoria” aggiunge eventuali coupon non pagati appena la soglia viene nuovamente raggiunta.

Richiamo automatico: Da ott 2025 ad apr 2028, se il peggior titolo è ≥ al valore iniziale in un giorno di calcolo, i titoli vengono richiamati automaticamente a valore nominale più coupon, terminando anticipatamente l’investimento e generando rischio di reinvestimento.

Rimborso del capitale: Se non richiamati prima, alla scadenza i possessori ricevono: (i) 100% del valore nominale se il peggior titolo è ≥ 70% del valore iniziale; oppure (ii) valore nominale × fattore di performance del peggior titolo se è < 70%. Gli investitori quindi affrontano un’esposizione completa al ribasso sotto il buffer del 30% e potrebbero perdere tutto il capitale.

Termini strutturali chiave: Valori iniziali fissati alla data di prezzo; soglia coupon 80%; soglia ribasso 70%; valore iniziale stimato $966,40 (96,64% del nominale) e non inferiore a $916,00. Sconto agente fino al 2,325%; commissioni dealer aggiuntive fino allo 0,30%.

Rischi evidenziati: coupon condizionali (possibile assenza di pagamento), potenziale perdita superiore al 30% del capitale, dipendenza dal peggior titolo, rischio di credito BMO, mercato secondario illiquido, trasparenza di prezzo limitata e trattamento fiscale USA incerto. I titoli sono non garantiti, non assicurati FDIC e non quotati in borsa.

Bank of Montreal (BMO) está ofreciendo valores vinculados al mercado con opción Auto-Callable, cupones contingentes, función de memoria y principal en riesgo contingente a la baja, ligados al peor desempeño entre Apple Inc., Broadcom Inc. y McDonald’s Corporation. Los bonos denominados en $1,000 se valoran el 11 de jul de 2025, liquidan el 16 de jul de 2025 y vencen el 14 de jul de 2028 (plazo de 3 años salvo llamado anticipado).

Perfil de ingresos: Los inversionistas reciben un cupón trimestral contingente de al menos 21.25% anual (5.3125% por trimestre) siempre que el peor activo subyacente esté ≥ 80% de su valor inicial en la fecha de cálculo correspondiente. La función de “memoria” acumula cupones no pagados hasta que se cumpla nuevamente el umbral.

Llamado automático: De oct 2025 a abr 2028, si el peor desempeño está ≥ su valor inicial en una fecha de cálculo, los bonos se llaman automáticamente a la par más el cupón, terminando la inversión anticipadamente y generando riesgo de reinversión.

Reembolso del principal: Si no son llamados antes, al vencimiento los tenedores reciben: (i) 100% del valor nominal si el peor desempeño está ≥ 70% de su valor inicial; o (ii) valor nominal × factor de desempeño del peor activo si está < 70%. Por lo tanto, los inversionistas enfrentan exposición total a la baja bajo el margen del 30% y podrían perder todo el principal.

Términos estructurales clave: Valores iniciales fijados en la fecha de precio; umbral de cupón 80%; umbral de caída 70%; valor inicial estimado $966.40 (96.64% del nominal) y no menor a $916.00. Descuento para agentes hasta 2.325%; comisiones adicionales para distribuidores hasta 0.30%.

Riesgos destacados: cupones condicionales (posible ausencia de pago), posible pérdida superior al 30% del principal, dependencia del peor desempeño, riesgo crediticio con BMO, mercado secundario ilíquido, transparencia de precios limitada y tratamiento fiscal estadounidense incierto. Los bonos no están garantizados, no cuentan con seguro FDIC y no se listan en ninguna bolsa.

뱅크 오브 몬트리올(BMO)은 애플(Apple Inc.), 브로드컴(Broadcom Inc.), 맥도날드(McDonald’s Corporation) 중 최저 실적 종목에 연동된 자동 상환형 시장 연계 증권을 판매 중이며, 조건부 쿠폰, 메모리 기능 및 조건부 하락 원금 위험을 포함하고 있습니다. 1,000달러 단위의 이 증권은 2025년 7월 11일에 가격이 책정되고, 2025년 7월 16일에 결제되며, 2028년 7월 14일에 만기됩니다(만기는 3년이며 조기 상환 가능).

수익 구조: 투자자는 최저 실적 기초자산이 해당 산정일에 최초 가치의 80% 이상일 경우 연 21.25%(분기별 5.3125%)의 조건부 분기별 쿠폰을 받습니다. ‘메모리’ 기능은 쿠폰 지급 조건이 충족되지 않아 놓친 쿠폰을 다음 조건 충족 시 누적 지급합니다.

자동 상환: 2025년 10월부터 2028년 4월까지, 산정일에 최저 실적 종목이 최초 가치 이상이면 증권은 액면가와 쿠폰을 합산한 금액으로 자동 상환되어 조기 투자 종료 및 재투자 위험이 발생합니다.

원금 상환: 조기 상환되지 않은 경우 만기 시 투자자는 (i) 최저 실적 종목이 최초 가치의 70% 이상이면 액면가 100%를 받거나, (ii) 70% 미만이면 최저 실적 종목의 성과 지수 × 액면가를 받습니다. 따라서 투자자는 30% 하락 완충 구간 아래에서 전액 손실 위험에 노출됩니다.

주요 구조 조건: 최초 가치는 가격 책정일에 결정되며, 쿠폰 지급 기준은 80%, 하락 기준은 70%입니다. 초기 예상 가치는 966.40달러(액면가의 96.64%)이고 최소 916.00달러 이상입니다. 중개인 할인 최대 2.325%, 추가 딜러 수수료 최대 0.30%입니다.

주요 위험: 조건부 쿠폰(미지급 가능성), 30% 이상 원금 손실 가능성, 최저 실적 종목 의존성, BMO의 신용 위험, 유동성 낮은 2차 시장, 가격 투명성 부족, 미국 세금 처리 불확실성. 이 증권은 무담보이며 FDIC 보험이 없고 거래소 상장이 되지 않습니다.

La Bank of Montreal (BMO) commercialise des titres liés au marché avec option d’auto-remboursement, coupons conditionnels, fonction mémoire et principal à risque conditionnel à la baisse, liés au moins performant parmi Apple Inc., Broadcom Inc. et McDonald’s Corporation. Les billets libellés en 1 000 $ sont prix le 11 juillet 2025, réglés le 16 juillet 2025 et arrivent à échéance le 14 juillet 2028 (durée de 3 ans sauf rappel anticipé).

Profil de revenus : Les investisseurs reçoivent un coupon trimestriel conditionnel d’au moins 21,25 % par an (5,3125 % par trimestre) à condition que le sous-jacent le moins performant soit ≥ 80 % de sa valeur initiale à la date de calcul pertinente. La fonction « mémoire » ajoute les coupons manqués dès que le seuil est de nouveau atteint.

Rappel automatique : D’octobre 2025 à avril 2028, si le moins performant est ≥ à sa valeur initiale à une date de calcul, les billets sont automatiquement rappelés à la valeur nominale plus le coupon, mettant fin prématurément à l’investissement et créant un risque de réinvestissement.

Remboursement du principal : Si non rappelés auparavant, à l’échéance les détenteurs reçoivent : (i) 100 % de la valeur nominale si le moins performant est ≥ 70 % de sa valeur initiale ; ou (ii) valeur nominale × facteur de performance du moins performant s’il est < 70 %. Les investisseurs sont donc exposés à une perte totale en cas de baisse supérieure à 30 %.

Principaux termes structurels : Valeurs initiales fixées à la date de prix ; seuil du coupon 80 % ; seuil à la baisse 70 % ; valeur initiale estimée à 966,40 $ (96,64 % de la valeur nominale) et ne sera pas inférieure à 916,00 $. Remise agent jusqu’à 2,325 % ; frais supplémentaires pour le distributeur jusqu’à 0,30 %.

Risques mis en avant : coupons conditionnels (possibilité de non-paiement), perte potentielle de plus de 30 % du principal, dépendance au moins performant, risque de crédit BMO, marché secondaire illiquide, transparence des prix limitée et traitement fiscal américain incertain. Les billets sont non garantis, non assurés par la FDIC et ne seront pas cotés en bourse.

Die Bank of Montreal (BMO) bietet Auto-Callable Market Linked Securities mit bedingten Coupons, Memory-Funktion und kontingentem Abwärtsrisiko auf den schlechtesten Performer unter Apple Inc., Broadcom Inc. und McDonald’s Corporation an. Die auf 1.000 USD lautenden Notes werden am 11. Juli 2025 bepreist, am 16. Juli 2025 abgerechnet und laufen bis zum 14. Juli 2028 (3 Jahre Laufzeit, sofern nicht vorzeitig gekündigt).

Einkommensprofil: Anleger erhalten einen vierteljährlichen bedingten Coupon von mindestens 21,25 % p.a. (5,3125 % pro Quartal), sofern der schlechteste Basiswert am jeweiligen Berechnungstag ≥ 80 % seines Anfangswerts liegt. Die „Memory“-Funktion addiert verpasste Coupons, sobald die Schwelle erneut erreicht wird.

Auto-Call: Von Okt 2025 bis Apr 2028 werden die Notes automatisch zum Nennwert plus Coupon zurückgerufen, wenn der schlechteste Performer an einem Berechnungstag ≥ seinem Anfangswert ist, wodurch die Anlage vorzeitig endet und ein Reinvestitionsrisiko entsteht.

Kapitalrückzahlung: Wenn nicht vorher zurückgerufen, erhalten Inhaber bei Fälligkeit: (i) 100 % des Nennwerts, wenn der schlechteste Performer ≥ 70 % seines Anfangswerts ist; oder (ii) Nennwert × Performance-Faktor des schlechtesten Performers, wenn dieser < 70 % liegt. Anleger tragen somit das volle Abwärtsrisiko unterhalb des 30%-Buffers und können ihr gesamtes Kapital verlieren.

Wesentliche Strukturmerkmale: Anfangswerte zum Preistag festgelegt; Coupon-Schwelle 80 %; Abwärts-Schwelle 70 %; geschätzter Anfangswert 966,40 USD (96,64 % des Nennwerts), mindestens 916,00 USD. Agentur-Rabatt bis zu 2,325 %; zusätzliche Händlergebühren bis zu 0,30 %.

Hervorgehobene Risiken: bedingte Coupons (keine Zahlung möglich), potenzieller Verlust von über 30 % des Kapitals, Abhängigkeit vom schlechtesten Performer, Kreditrisiko BMO, illiquider Sekundärmarkt, eingeschränkte Preistransparenz und unsichere US-Steuerbehandlung. Die Notes sind unbesichert, nicht FDIC-versichert und werden nicht an einer Börse notiert.

Positive
  • High contingent coupon of at least 21.25 % per annum, well above traditional fixed-income yields.
  • Memory feature allows recovery of missed coupons once thresholds are re-met, increasing potential income stability.
  • 30 % downside buffer protects principal against moderate equity declines if the worst underlier remains above 70 % at maturity.
  • Early auto-call can return capital at par plus coupon if markets remain flat or rise, reducing duration risk.
Negative
  • Full downside exposure below 70 % of the worst-performing stock can result in losses > 30 % up to total principal loss.
  • No participation in equity upside; returns are capped at coupon payments.
  • Estimated initial value 96.64 % indicates a built-in discount and high fees relative to par.
  • Illiquidity: securities will not list on an exchange; secondary market, if any, may price unfavorably.
  • Issuer credit risk to Bank of Montreal; repayment depends on BMO’s solvency.
  • Complex tax treatment with uncertain U.S. federal income tax consequences.

Insights

TL;DR: High 21%+ coupon and memory feature offset by substantial principal risk, illiquidity and reliance on worst stock.

The term sheet offers an attractive headline coupon (≥21.25 % p.a.) that far exceeds prevailing yields, achieved by combining three large-cap equities and a 30 % downside buffer. The quarterly observation and memory mechanism raise the probability of capturing some income, while the auto-call at par helps shorten duration if markets remain flat or rise. However, investors sacrifice all upside participation and carry full exposure to the worst-performing underlier below the 70 % barrier, exposing them to single-stock gaps (e.g., product cycles at AAPL or cyclical demand swings at AVGO). The estimated initial value (96.64 % of face) reveals a ~3.4 % built-in cost before dealer commissions, and secondary liquidity is expected to be thin. Given these trade-offs, the structure suits yield-seeking accounts comfortable with equity downside and issuer credit risk but is inappropriate for conservative income investors.

TL;DR: Product embeds leveraged short put on worst stock; high coupon compensates for significant tail risk.

The notes replicate writing a 3-year worst-of put struck at 70 % with knock-out features, plus a call on coupon observations. Correlation risk is elevated: a sharp idiosyncratic decline in any underlier triggers capital loss regardless of others’ strength. Historical stress scenarios show worst-of baskets breaching a 30 % buffer roughly once every 4-6 years during drawdowns, implying non-trivial default probability within the term. Credit exposure to BMO (A+ / Aa3) is modest but real; recovery on unsecured notes averages ~40 % in default. Illiquidity, uncertain tax treatment (contingent payment debt), and upfront sales concessions further erode expected value. While the structure may enhance portfolio income, risk-adjusted return is neutral at best.

FAQ

What is the contingent coupon rate on Bank of Montreal’s Market Linked Securities?

The rate will be at least 21.25 % per annum, determined on the 11 Jul 2025 pricing date.

When can the securities be automatically called?

If on any quarterly calculation day from Oct 2025 to Apr 2028 the worst underlier closes at or above its starting value, the notes are auto-called at par plus the coupon.

How much principal protection do investors have?

Principal is protected only if the worst-performing stock is not below 70 % of its starting value on the final calculation day; otherwise losses mirror the decline.

Do investors benefit from gains in Apple, Broadcom or McDonald’s?

No. Upside is capped; investors receive only the fixed contingent coupons and do not share in stock appreciation.

What is the estimated initial value compared to the $1,000 face amount?

The issuer estimates the initial value at $966.40 (96.64 % of face) and it will not be lower than $916.00 at pricing.

Will the securities trade on an exchange?

No, the notes will not be listed; liquidity will rely on dealer willingness to make a market.
