Structured products

Structured products owe their name to the fact that they are composed of a combination of different elements. They are always based on an underlying value, such as a stock, a bond, an index or a commodity such as gold or oil. The use of one or more derivative instruments creates specific payout scenarios.

Thanks to the wide variety of derivative strategies, structured products are flexible investment instruments that can be adapted to any market situation and the market expectations of investors. They can also be tailored to personal investment objectives and requirements. This creates a wide range of tailored payout structures adapted to suit different types of investors.

In general, structured products are divided into four groups – with increasing return potential, but also increasing risk:

• Protection 
• Optimization
• Participation 
• Leverage effect 

Good to know: It is important that you understand the specific risks of a product and its underlying assets and discuss them with your client advisor.

• For bulls and bears: Structured products let you structure your portfolio according to anticipated market trends – and benefit from them.
