What are Structured Investments?

The performance of global markets in recent years combined with rising demand from retail investors on the look-out for unique, tailored investment solutions has significantly boosted the importance of structured investments within the financial sector. Noticeably products that were once reserved for institutional investors are now more accessible and growing in popularity amongst retail investors.

Structured investments can offer viable alternatives to standardised financial products. They offer exposure to numerous asset classes – equities, interest rates, currencies, precious metals, managed funds, hedge funds, real estate, loans and commodities – as well as opportunities for portfolio diversification, capital protection, enhanced income and accelerated growth.

Select a strategy to match your investment objectives

 

With an ever-growing number of structured investments coming to market, it can be difficult and time consuming to find the products that best suit your investment objectives and tolerance to risk.

The chart below illustrates the key features of structured investments and where they are positioned on a risk/return scale. As you can see capital protected investments tend to have a lower risk/return profile than other structures. That being said, protection coupled with leverage, for example, can significantly change this risk/reward profile.
