What are Structured Products

 

Structured products are financial instruments that provide you with the potential opportunity to earn a higher return. These products have returns that can be linked to the performance of an underlying benchmark such as interest rates, equity markets, commodities, corporate credits or foreign exchange markets. For example, an S&P 500 equity-linked note has a return linked to the performance of the S&P 500 index. The greater the return of the S&P 500 over the life of the note, the better the return on the S&P 500 equity-linked note.

Another common feature and benefit of many structured products is the protection of some or all of the capital you invest. A capital protected structured product protects a portion (up to 100%) of your invested capital, and are an ideal way to link an investment or deposit with the performance of financial markets with little or no capital risk. Some structured products also offer minimum guarantees on the performance of your investment.

Overall, structured products can be an attractive addition to your portfolio as they can give you the flexibility to tailor an investment structure to meet your specific financial objectives—taking into consideration such factors as your goals, risk tolerance and time horizon.
