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.
