SELECTED RISK FACTORS |
An investment in your notes is subject to the risks summarized below. These risks, as well as other risks and considerations, are explained in more detail in the accompanying documents listed above under "About Your Notes". You should carefully review these risks and considerations as well as the terms of the notes described herein and in such accompanying documents. Your notes are a riskier investment than ordinary debt securities. Also, your notes are not equivalent to investing directly in the underlier stocks (i.e., the stocks comprising the reference equity index). You should carefully consider whether the offered notes are appropriate given your particular circumstances.
.
The following risk factors are discussed in greater detail in the accompanying preliminary pricing supplement:
|
Risks Related to Structure, Valuation and Secondary Market Sales ■ The Estimated Value of Your Notes At the Time the Terms of Your Notes Are Set On the Trade Date (as Determined By Reference to Pricing Models Used By GS&Co.) Is Less Than the Original Issue Price Of Your Notes ■ The Notes Are Subject to the Credit Risk of the Issuer and the Guarantor ■ You May Lose Your Entire Investment ■ The Return on Your Notes May Change Significantly Despite Only a Small Change in the Underlier Level ■ Your Notes Do Not Bear Interest ■ You Have No Rights in Any Futures Contract Tracked by the Underlier ■ You Have No Shareholder Rights or Rights to Receive Any Underlier Stock ■ The Market Value of Your Notes May be Influenced by Many Unpredictable Factors |
Additional Risks Related to the Underlier ■ Linking to an Equity Futures Contract Is Different From Linking to the Reference Equity Index ■ Negative Roll Yields Will Adversely Affect the Level of the Underlier Over Time and Therefore the Amount Payable on the Notes ■ Futures Contracts Are Not Assets with Intrinsic Value ■ Owning the Notes Is Not the Same as Directly Owning the Underlier Stocks or Futures Contract Directly or Indirectly Tracked by the Underlier ■ Suspension or Disruptions of Market Trading in Stocks or Futures Contracts May Adversely Affect the Value of the Notes Risks Related to Tax ■ The Tax Consequences of an Investment in Your Notes Are Uncertain |
For details about the license agreement between the underlier sponsor and the issuer, see "The Underliers-S&P 500® Futures Excess Return Index" on page S-122 of the accompanying underlier supplement no. 47.
