[C] EFTA01462373 Classification: Confidential Jeffrey - Tried you this morning. Call when you have time to review. No rush; although spot is lower, markets feel quite shaky this morning. In addition to the long dated option, just wanted to borrow a page from the USDCAD structure you have on (working well with spot now at 1.1208), for a shorter-term trade to consider on yen strength: 3mo 102.75 strike USDJPY call, RKI 107 strike (KI at 110). Add a digital one-touch at 100 (1.25% cost if hit). Net premium paid: 0.89% Compare to vanilla 102.75: 1.91% If digital 100 one-touch hit: 2.14% Max loss 2.14% Indicative level only.

[C] Classification: Confidential Jeffrey - Below is the description and scenario analysis from Nav and team for the l0y USDJPY call option, strike 85 with American style KO at 90 (v spot). If you review and like the long-term position ("IRR" like trade, as Vinit said), our suggestion is to leg in, perhaps $5mm notional x2 for total $10mm notional. Let's discuss the below in the morning (Fri) and depending on your review/the market we can potentially add the first leg. Best Regards, Tazia Forwarded by Tazia Smith/db/dbcom on 01/30/2014 06:14 PM Classification: Confidential The trade below is a structure to reduce the cost of a near-dated USDJPY call and express a long-term bearish view on the yen; it's a trade that Vinit and Nast have been kicking around to take advantage of dislocations in FX and like it a lot l0y Expiry: EFTA01462375 European style USDJPY 85.00 strike, call option which knocks out (KO) if SY trades at 90 at any time during the life of the option Spot Ref 102.5 Mid market 4.0% of USD notional. Offer 4.35% Maximum loss is premium paid Indicative level only. Subject to market movement. Source: DB FX London, 1/30/14. Key Points: - We find that buyers often cheapen call options by selling in-the-money knockouts - so if the buyers view is "too right" the option knocks out and becomes worthless - Rather than "trying to be right, but not too right," consider buying call options which knock-out if spot trades down (ie. against your view) because in that case, you are wrong on the direction bet and probably do not want the option anymore. - The challenge is that is no one ever pays much for the out-of-the-money KO feature so its almost never worth doing - except, in our view, in USDJPY because long dated FX forwards trade so far below spot (due to the interest rate differential) that the 90 strike KO is worth a lot - arguably too much based on probabilities of where DB forecasts spot to roll up to. Simple scenario analysis for USDJPY KO at 90 Spot Ref 102.51, l0y Fwd 77.10 This analysis implies that all else rates) At 90.0 and below the option is worth SO. Full loss is premium paid. (Embedded image moved to file: pic09529.gif) Notes: premium decays positively if spot is unchanged the premium is sensitive to moves in spot - much more than a regular l0y option the mid price for a l0year expiry 85 strike USDJPY call (without any KO feature) is 10.5% and the mid price for a lyear 102.51 strike call is 4% and compared with either of these the option with the KO feature has better risk:reward in Nav's opinion we suggest sizing it to worst loss Call option, strike 85 with American style except spot remains equal (eg. volatility, premium would be lost.
