An investment in structured products. The potential and the protection.
The range of investment choices available today is astounding. As Australia represents approximately 1% of the total range of investment choices globally, it is important to consider some potential alternatives to access these opportunities. Through structured products, investors can gain access to these markets and still have the comfort of knowing that their initial capital is protected when the investment is held to maturity.
Structured products bridge the gap between a deposit and a direct investment in securities. They are not meant to become the only investment in a portfolio, but to provide access to alternative investment strategies that deliver diversification in terms of asset allocation and risk/reward payoff, and downside protection through the inbuilt capital protection*.
* Capital protection only applies at maturity or in the instance of a Call Event and provided no Early Termination Event has occurred. If the investment is sold before the Maturity Date or there is an Early Termination Event, the investor may receive an amount less than their initial investment amount. The capital protection is also subject to the creditworthiness of the Issuer.
