RBS US Mid Cap Trendpilot ETN
TRNM

Product Detail

The RBS US Mid Cap Trendpilot(TM)ETNs are designed for investors who seek
exposure to the RBS US Mid Cap Trendpilot(TM) Index (USD) (the "Index"). The
Index utilizes a systematic trend-following strategy to provide exposure to
either the S and P MidCap 400[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.

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.

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
