Chapter 8. Structured products

Structured products are a combination of money market instruments, forex cash and derivatives. They allow investors to optimize the return on their investments without having to perform the necessary, time costly analysis and structuring work needed if the investors were to structure the product on their own.

Structured products can be divided into four categories:

• Protection
• Optimization
• Performance
• Leverage

Structured products can be obtained in practically every currency pair with a variety of strike prices, yield levels and maturity profiles. Thus allowing for tailor made solutions.
