About Structured Products

Structured financial products:
​A structured product is a pre-packaged investment strategy in single asset or basket of: indices, stocks, commodities, debt, foreign currency, swap and so on. A feature of some structured products is a “principal guarantee” function, which offers protection of principal if held to maturity. Structured products were created to meet specific needs that cannot be met from the standardized financial instruments available in the markets. Structured products can be used as an alternative to a direct investment, as part of the asset allocation process to reduce risk exposure of a portfolio or to utilize the current market trend.​

Advantages of using structured products:​

• Simple and cost effective access to a wide range of markets and asset classes
• Full capital protection or pre-defined maximum potential loss
• Potential return whether the performance of the underlying asset is static, bullish or bearish
• Built-in currency risk management features in some products
