Structured Products/Equity Funds/Commodities |
Structured Products
Structured products are securities that combine the characteristics of traditional investments (such as stocks and bonds) with financial instruments (such as options, futures contracts and swap agreements) into one single investment. They can offer cost effective solutions to protecting capital and can be used to hedge and reduce risk or to make the most effective use of leverage. Many investors want to invest in equities but are uncomfortable with the capital risk, while others want to hedge existing equity portfolios. Some investors still want to get the highest leverage at the lowest cost. Our structured products programme can deliver a range of investment strategies that match the risk and return requirements of our clients.
Commodities
Commodities offer very attractive, if highly volatile, long-term investment opportunities. We aim to get exposure to commodities in the most efficient way possible. We either select specific equities that are directly connected to the mining or energy sectors or buy commodity-linked exchange-traded funds.
