Structured to suit your needs
Structured products are just like any other retail investment opportunity but with one important point of difference – they can structure or alter the risk and return payoff for investors through the use of derivatives. In other words, the underlying investments are the same; equity markets, fixed interest markets, commodities, property etc.; it’s just the outcomes for the investor that are different.
Reducing risk, enhancing returns
For instance, a structured product may introduce capital protection* to an equity market investment or create a specific minimum level of income each year. In this way, our clients can reduce the risk and/or enhance the return on their portfolios beyond traditional investments.
Taking advantage through diversification
Structured products also make access to global investment themes easy - such as climate change, water, food and agriculture and emerging market economies - and provide an efficient way of diversifying portfolios that reach beyond traditional investments.
