Notes - (Value)Services are provided by an experienced, for-profit service provider. According to NZ Treasury the bond’s base case or expected performance occurs when 43% of the referred clients are placed in employment. This compares with a counterfactual where 10% find employment without any interventions, and a 30% target for the main comparable MSD intervention, Work-to-Wellness contracts.To improve potential interest in the bonds, the $1.5m of private investment is split into two classes. On base case assumptions, less risky Class A capital is expected to return 7%, and more risky Class B 13%. The contract caps maximum potential yields at 9% and 17% respectively (with any surplus returned to the Crown). Downside risks are also considerable, with early termination only possible after yields have dropped to around 3% on Class A and -19% on Class B
