Capital protection in structured products
Structured products are useful investment tools in portfolio management. They can provide exposure to a range of different asset classes (underlyings) whilst at the same time providing a mechanism for managing risk within a portfolio.
They are able to achieve this through a predefined level of capital protection which is built into the product.
The most popular forms of protection available in structured products use preset barriers which define the level of protection available. These are commonly referred to as capital protection barriers and can be either hard protection barriers or soft protection barriers.
To help explain the features of different barriers and to compare the protection offered we’ve undertaken a comprehensive analysis of their performance using historical performance data for different underlyings.
This analysis is provided to help advisers explain different types of protection to their clients.
