How structured are structured products
Feb 26th, 2007 by complex001
More and more insurance companies, fund managers, investment banks and retail banks are offering a certain kind of structured products. This ranges from guaranteed products to various company index performance- related plans with a varying level of risk. Quite a few companies even offer the choice of three or four different products. Although most of these structured products are fixed over a certain period of time (five or six years), it is possible to take the money back in the event of emergency. I have recently started investing into this and have several plans with three different providers. I think they are very useful investment tools and should be a part of every investment portfolio as a low-risk solution to balance a higher-risk portfolio.
