Structured Products

Structured products are ‘exotic’ instruments which try to beat the market index by making use of credit, derivatives and other alternative investments.

Structured products come in many varieties and can be a plain vanilla product which use 2-3 financial products to achieve the desired goal or something very complicated making use of multiple products to achieve the desired result.

Let us show you an example of a plain vanilla product which uses 3 products (credit, options & AIFs) to give you 5x of index returns on the upside while it gives 1x on the downside. This is a hypothetical product loosely based on an actual structured instrument available in the market.
