Advantages of Investing in Structured Products

• Access to alternative assets and markets - Depending on the underlying asset, structured products give you the ability to access investment opportunities from all around the world, through returns linked to the performance of one underlying asset or a basket of assets.
• Capital protection^* - In times of adverse market performance, the capital protection* ensures that you will receive your initial investment amount at maturity.
• Reducing risk through diversification - Investing in structured products can achieve diversification in two ways:
  1. Exposure to asset classes, investment strategies and markets that a retail investor would not normally be able to access.
  2. By linking to assets that don't perform the same way as the assets you may already hold.
• International market exposure without the currency risk - Most structured products that are linked to the performance of international markets have the currency risk removed. If this risk was not removed, returns that were generated in another currency other than Australian dollars, may be reduced during that period by a stronger Australian dollar.
• Clear investment objectives - The objectives of the investment are usually determined up-front and locked-in for the life of the investment. This provides a level of certainty of how an investment will perform under particular market circumstances. This is helpful when aiming to take advantage of a particular market scenario.
• Potential for enhanced returns - These returns can be delivered in the form of income and/or capital growth. Depending on the way the investment is structured, it also has the ability to outperform traditional investments in certain market conditions.
