What are the risks?

If even one of the 4 stocks were to lose more than 33%, the coupon of 1% would no longer be paid, until the security returns above this threshold. If this happens, thanks to the memory effect, we will collect the unpaid coupons, in the period when the price has remained below the barrier level.
