Everything you need to know about structured products…….
Structured products have been part of the UK financial landscape since the 1990s, with users ranging from large institutions to individual retail investors. Over time, the market has evolved, shaped by changing investor needs, different market cycles and changes in regulations. Today, the UK structured products industry is responsible for issuing significant volume each year and many of the global banks are active in the UK market.
The establishment of the UK Structured Products Association (‘UKSPA’) in 2009 gave those firms the opportunity to work together for the first time, to help promote the industry, engage with regulatory and provide a useful source of information to the wider investment community.
One of the main goals of the UKSPA is to provide high quality education on structured products. To date, they’ve focused on creating education for investment professionals, but now, for the first time, they’ve created a series of ‘Masterclass’ videos that should help investors themselves understand how structured products fit within their portfolios. |
