Document background
The Equity Linked Agreement is a sophisticated financial contract used when parties wish to create investment arrangements tied to equity performance without direct equity ownership. This document is essential in the Dutch financial markets for structuring products such as equity-linked notes, certificates, or other derivative instruments. It provides detailed provisions for calculating returns, managing market risks, and ensuring regulatory compliance under Dutch law and EU regulations. The agreement is particularly relevant when financial institutions issue structured products to investors or when implementing complex investment strategies that require exposure to equity markets through synthetic arrangements. The document must comply with Dutch financial regulations, including the Wet op het financieel toezicht (Wft) and relevant EU directives.
