MARKET INDEX TARGET-TERM SECURITY - MITTS
A principal-protected note which is designed to limit downside losses an investor is exposed to while providing potential upside, in proportion to that of a particular stock market index. Even if the stock market has a poor performance poorly during their investment period, they will still be left with certain minimum capital. Usually, Market Index Target-Term Securities (MITTS) do not owe these holders the right to redeem it before its maturity date nor to call the issue prematurely. MITTS are initially engineered by Merrill Lynch, Co.
