Tame the Dragon with Trendpilot[TM]

The RBS China Trendpilot[TM] ETN tracks the RBS China Trendpilot[TM] Index which
uses a trend-following strategy* to provide exposure to:

[]   BNY Mellon China Select ADR Total Return Index(SM) (the "Benchmark Index");
     or

[]   3-month US Treasury bills yield ("Cash Rate")

Use this trend-following strategy* to:

[]   participate in the Chinese ADRs included in the Benchmark Index when it is
     trending up

[]   provide potential protection when it is trending down

Back in the Market!

CERTAIN RISK CONSIDERATIONS: The RBS ETNs involve risks not associated with an
investment in conventional debt securities, including a possible loss of some or
all of your investment. The level of the relevant Trendpilot[TM] Index that the
RBS ETN tracks must increase by an amount sufficient to offset the aggregate
investor fee applicable to the RBS ETNs in order for you to receive at least the
principal amount of your investment back at maturity or upon early repurchase or
redemption. The RBS Oil Trendpilot(TM) ETNs and the RBS Oil Trendpilot(TM) Index
(USD) do not provide exposure to spot prices of crude oil and, consequently, may
not be representative of an investment that provides exposure to crude oil. Each
Trendpilot[TM] Index may underperform its respective Benchmark Index, and is
expected to perform poorly in volatile markets. The RBS China Trendpilot[TM]
ETNs involve risks associated with an investment in emerging markets, as well as
currency exchange risk. Even though the RBS ETNs are listed on the NYSE Arca, a
trading market may not develop and the liquidity of the RBS ETNs may be limited
an/or vary over time, as RBS plc is not required to maintain any listing of



 
 
 

 
 
 




the RBS ETNs. The RBS ETNs are not principal protected and do not pay interest.
Any payment on the RBS ETNs is subject to the ability of the applicable issuer
and guarantor to pay their respective obligations when they become due. You
should carefully consider whether the RBS ETNs are suited to your particular
circumstances before you decide to purchase them. We urge you to consult with
your investment, legal, accounting, tax and other advisors with respect to any
investment in the RBS ETNs.

The RBS ETNs are not suitable for all investors. You should carefully read the
relevant pricing supplement and prospectus, including the more detailed
explanation of the risks involved in any investment in the RBS ETNs as described
in the "Risk Factors" section of the applicable pricing supplement, before
investing.
