Product Detail  PDF     Print

The RBS US Large Cap TrendpilotTM ETNs are designed for investors who seek
exposure to the RBS US Large Cap TrendpilotTM Index (USD) (the "Index"). The
Index utilizes a systematic trend-following strategy to provide exposure to
either the SandP 500(R) Total Return Index (the "Benchmark Index") or the yield
on a hypothetical notional investment in 3-month U.S. Treasury bills (the "Cash
Rate"), depending on the relative performance of the Benchmark Index on a simple
historical moving average basis. If the level of the Benchmark Index is at or
above its historical 200-index business day simple moving average for five
consecutive Index business days (i.e., a "positive trend" is established), the
Index will track the return on the Benchmark Index, and will have no exposure to
the Cash Rate until a negative trend occurs. Conversely, if the level of the
Benchmark Index is below such average for five consecutive index business days
(i.e., a "negative trend" is established), then the Index will track the Cash
Rate instead of the return on the Benchmark Index and will have no exposure to
the Benchmark Index until the next positive trend.

All Return information presented above is updated once a month and is presented

the month end of the relevant period (e.g., closing level of the Index from

CERTAIN RISK CONSIDERATIONS: The RBS ETNs involve risks not associated with an
investment in conventional debt securities, including a possible loss of some or
all of your investment. The level of the Index must increase by an amount
sufficient to offset the aggregate investor fee applicable to the RBS ETNs in
order for you to receive at least the principal amount of your investment back
at maturity or upon early repurchase or redemption. The Index may underperform
the Benchmark Index, and is expected to perform poorly in volatile markets.
Liquidity of the market for RBS ETNs may vary over time. The RBS ETNs do not pay
interest. Any payment on the RBS ETNs is subject to ability of The Royal Bank of
Scotland N.V. (RBS NV), as the issuer, and RBS Holdings N.V., as the guarantor,
to pay their respective obligations when they become due. You should carefully
consider whether the RBS ETNs are suited to your particular circumstances before
you decide to purchase them. We urge you to consult with your investment, legal,
accounting, tax and other advisors with respect to any investment in the RBS
ETNs.

The RBS ETNs are not suitable for all investors. You should carefully read the
relevant pricing supplement and prospectus, including the more detailed
explanation of the risks involved in any investment in the RBS ETNs as described
in the "Risk Factors" section of the pricing supplement, before investing.
