Structured Investment Products
Structured Products are an efficient way to take indirect exposure to Equity, Fixed-Income and Alternative investments. You can choose between Capital guaranteed products that reduce the element of market risk and Partial/Non capital guaranteed products involve a higher element of risk and return. You can choose between higher returns on one end of the scale and extra stability at the other end. With structured investment products you can choose between different goals including diversification, flexibility and access to non-traditional asset classes.

Interest Rate Swaps
- Allow users to modify the interest rate index of a liability or asset without changing the characteristics of the underlying debt or asset
- A floating rate borrower can turn his floating rate liability into a fixed rate liability by entering into a “Payer” Swap
- A floating rate investor can turn his floating rate asset into a fixed rate asset by entering into a “Receiver” Swap
Interest Rate Options
- Contract between two parties, whereby the Cap/Floor seller agrees to pay the Cap/Floor buyer provided than the underlying interest rate index rises above/falls below the Strike level
- The Cap/Floor buyer effectively buys protection from the Cap/Floor seller against higher/lower interest rates and pays an upfront premium in return
