Introduction to CitiFirst Investments
CitiFirst is the brand name for Citis offering of investments including notes and deposits. Tailored to meet the needs of a range of investors, CitiFirst investments are divided into three categories based on the amount of principal due at maturity:
CitiFirst Protection
Full principal amount due at maturity |
CitiFirst Performance
Payment due at maturity may be less than the principal amount |
CitiFirst Opportunity
Payment due at maturity may be zero | ||
Investments provide for the full principal amount to be due at maturity, subject to the credit risk of the issuer, and are for investors who place a priority on the preservation of principal while looking for a way to potentially outperform cash or traditional fixed income investments | Investments provide for a payment due at maturity, subject to the credit risk of the issuer, that may be less than the principal amount and in some cases may be zero, and are for investors who are seeking the potential for current income and/or growth, in addition to partial or contingent downside protection | Investments provide for a payment at maturity, subject to the credit risk of the issuer, that may be zero and are for investors who are willing to take full market risk in return for either leveraged principal appreciation at a predetermined rate or access to a unique underlying strategy |
The structured investments discussed herein are not suitable for all investors. Prospective investors should evaluate their financial objectives and tolerance for risk prior to investing in any structured investment. The SEC registered securities described herein are not bank deposits but are senior, unsecured debt obligations of Citi. All returns and any principal amount due at maturity are subject to the applicable issuer credit risk, with the exception of the Market-Linked Certificates of Deposit which have FDIC insurance, subject to applicable limitations. Structured investments are not conventional debt securities. They are complex in nature and the specific terms and conditions will vary for each offering.
CitiFirst operates across all asset classes meaning that underlying assets include equities, commodities, currencies, interest rates and alternative investments. When depicting a specific product, the relevant underlying asset will be shown as a symbol on the cube:
For instance, if a CitiFirst Performance investment were based upon a single stock, which belongs to an equity asset class, its symbol would be shown as follows: |

Classification of investments into categories is not intended to guarantee particular results or performance. Though the potential returns on structured investments are based upon the performance of the relevant underlying asset or index, investing in a structured investment is not equivalent to investing directly in the underlying asset or index.
