Flexible Investment Horizons
These investments can be for short-term or long-term, based on the requirements and strategies of the investors.

Investment Process for Structured Products
Consultation with Experts

The buyers of structured products should especially seek advice and recommendations from their financial consultants about their objectives, their attitude to risks, and the appropriateness of the investment.
Selection of Product

Select an asset in accordance with the principles that can be defined using the information given by the investor: capital protection, increased yield, and attractiveness of various markets.
Purchase

The rationale involves financial institutions or a brokerage providing the structure to the market through creating the product.
Monitoring

Keeping track of the product’s performance is therefore crucial and most important for non-principal protected products that may significantly be impacted by market forces.
Maturity or Early Exit

As it reaches its due date, the investor obtains the return according to the earnings of the invested asset(s). Sometimes structured products can be marketable before the maturity date, though this comes at a loss due to unfavorable market conditions.
