Structured products
Listed Structured Products are issued by financial institutions and are listed as full tradeable securities on the London Stock Exchange. They are flexible tools offering leveraged or protected exposure to a wide range of underlyings such as equities, currencies and commodities. They offer users varying levels of capital protection and as they are quoted throughout the trading day offer the benefit of transparency and liquidity.
Structured Products are typically issued as 'certificates' and there are various types depending on how the products track the underlying and what levels of protection are offered. Trackers replicate the performance of the underlying asset on a one-for-one basis and there are also Reverse Trackers which move on one-for-minus one relationship with the underlying. Participation products allow investors to participate in upside or downside gains and offer leverage. Yield Enhancement products allow investors to benefit from coupon payments or capital growth and Capital Protected products offer exposure to the underlying with various degrees of guarantee of the the capital invested.
