Simple, certain and diversified
Simplicity
Each Keystone Funds investments offer fixed exposure to the underlying basket
from the issue date to the guarantee effective date. This means that there is
no need for ongoing dynamic management, so you can be assured at issue date
each Fund will participate in any growth of the underlying basket.
Certainty
Through fixed exposure to the Keystone Funds for the life of the product.
Through the provision of the 100% NAB Capital Guarantee, you can take advantage
of potential market highs while remaining protected during market lows.
The 100% NAB Capital Guarantee does not apply to early withdrawals.
Diversification
The Keystone Funds offer diversification potential through investing in one or
both of the Keystone Funds. Investing in the Keystone Funds can help broaden
your portfolio through economic exposure to emerging and/or developed global
equity markets.
The National Australia Bank (NAB) will provide a 100% capital guarantee to
unitholders who are invested in a Keystone Fund on the guarantee effective
date, subject to the terms and conditions referred to in About the NAB Capital
Guarantee on page 18 of the PDS. The 100% NAB Capital Guarantee does not apply
to early withdrawals. The units are not deposits or other liabilities of NAB or
of the Goldman Sachs JBWere Group. Neither NAB nor Goldman Sachs JBWere
guarantees the performance of the Keystone Funds.
Investment options
The Keystone Funds comprise a selection of two investment opportunities. You
have the choice of investing in one or both of the following Funds:
-
Goldman Sachs JBWere BRIC II Keystone Fund (BRIC II Fund)
-
Goldman Sachs JBWere Food, Feed, Fuel Keystone Fund (Food, Feed, Fuel Fund)
The Keystone Funds aim to provide you with economic exposure to the growth
potential of a selection of international equity investments with the safety of
a capital guarantee at the guarantee effective dates outlined above.
Investing in the BRIC II Fund
The BRIC II Fund is linked to the growth of the BRIC II Basket. At maturity of
the swap, the swap counterparty is required to deliver to the BRIC II Fund the
swap maturity value, which reflects the underlying basket growth (if any) of
the BRIC II Basket.
The underlying index for the BRIC II Basket is the S&P BRIC 40 Index. The
S&P BRIC 40 Index provides exposure to the four emerging markets commonly
referred to as the BRICs: Brazil, Russia, India and China. These countries
can be considered attractive investment opportunities in recognition of their
potential to move from emerging market status to developed markets, and indeed
global economic leaders.
The S&P BRIC 40 Index includes 40 leading companies from these four
countries. All constituents trade on developed market exchanges (Hong Kong
Stock Exchange, London Stock Exchange, NASDAQ and NYSE). The index used is
priced in US dollars.

Investing in the Food, Feed, Fuel Fund
Global warming, melting glaciers, rising sea levels, desertification and other
such global phenomena are making climate change an ever impending reality.
Along with the drive to secure energy supply, governments around the world are
increasingly pushing to create more environmental-friendly technologies and
energy sources. Thus we enter into a new era of clean energy.
Biofuel is created from alternative sources: agriculture commodities such as
corn, wheat, sugar and soybean oil. The Food, Feed, Fuel Fund has been
structured to capture the growth potential from these agriculture commodities.
The Food, Feed, Fuel Fund provides exposure to the growth of the S&P GSCI
Biofuel E40 Excess Return Strategy.
The underlying investment for the Food, Feed, Fuel Basket is the S&P GSCI
Biofuel E40 Excess Return Strategy, which is based on the S&P GSCI Biofuel
Excess Return Index. The S&P GSCI Biofuel Excess Return Index was
established in June 2007 with the composition fixed as set out in the chart
(left).

Fixed participation rates
Unlike some other investments where variable capital protection methods can
lead to changing degrees of exposure to an investment, the Keystone Funds offer
participation rates that are fixed on day one and do not vary.
What is the participation rate?
The participation rate represents the degree to which a Keystone Fund
participates in the performance of the underlying basket. For example, for a
participation rate of 100%, a Keystone Fund would receive one-for-one exposure
to the performance of the underlying basket.

but it will not be less than the participation floor. If an actual
participation rate of the participation floor or above, cannot be achieved for
