TICS Side-by-Side View
The TICS Side-by-Side View provides 27 points of data for 15 banks, which are the most prominent issuers / counterparties to retail structured products in the UK, in alphabetical order from BNP to UBS.
Welcome to 'TICS': a new section of our website for investors who want to understand more about the strength of banks behind structured products:
Counterparty risk is generally considered to be the most important risk of a structured product for investors to consider.
The Tempo Issuer & Counterparty Scorecards (‘TICS’) break new ground, having been designed by Tempo to support professional advisers who need to understand more about the strength of the counterparty banks behind structured products.
We are delighted that Tempo has agreed to offer access to part of TICS for investors through Best Price.
Investors can access the 'TICS Side-by-Side View' and a selection of 'TICS Reports', which together offer a level of information that has not been readily or easily accessible by investors, before now.
Please note:
TICS is designed for professional adviser use. But the TICS Side-by-Side View and TICS Reports, accessible through Best Price, may assist investors who want to know more about the strength of banks behind structured products.
