Risk Factors of VelocityShares ETN 3x Long Silver ETNs

VelocityShares ETN 3x Long Silver ETNs are senior, unsecured debt securities issued by Credit Suisse AG, acting through its Nassau Branch, that are linked to the return of the (the “Index”).

According to the website, the ETNs are intended to be daily trading tools for sophisticated investors to manage daily trading risks. They are designed to achieve their stated investment objectives on a daily basis, but their performance over different periods of time can differ significantly from their stated daily objectives. The ETNs are riskier than securities that have intermediate- or long-term investment objectives, and may not be suitable for investors who plan to hold them for a period other than one day.

Accordingly, the ETNs should be purchased only by knowledgeable investors who understand the potential consequences of an investment linked to the underlying index and of seeking daily compounding leveraged long or leveraged inverse investment results, as applicable.

Investors should actively and frequently monitor their investments in the ETNs, even intra-day. If an investor holds the ETNs for more than one day, it is possible that the investor will suffer significant losses in the ETNs even if the performance of the underlying index over the time the investor holds them is positive, in the case of the leveraged long ETNs, or negative, in the case of the leveraged inverse ETNs.
