Structured investment products: how do they work, and what is their added value?

I register

Structured investment products have entered many retail investor portfolios. It is therefore important to have a good understanding of how structured investments work. The course aims to contribute to a better knowledge of these popular investment products. Particular attention is paid to recent legislative initiatives on transparency and investor protection.

This course aims to:

understand the essence of structured investment products in terms of valuation, hedging, internal risk management;
view structured products from a investor’s perspective, from the distributor's or issuer's point of view and in a portfolio context;
frame the various (new) regulatory concepts around structured products and assess their relevance at the product manufacturing as well as at the point-of-sale.
