Back To TopStructured notes are securities issued by financial institutions whose returns are based on, among other things, equity indexes, a single equity security, a basket of equity securities, interest rates, commodities, and/or foreign currencies. Thus, your return is "linked" to the performance of a reference asset or index. Structured notes have a fixed maturity and include two components - a bond component and an embedded derivative. Financial institutions typically design and issue structured notes, and broker-dealers sell them to individual investors. Some common types of structured notes sold to individual investors include: principal protected notes, reverse convertible notes, enhanced participation or leveraged notes, and hybrid notes that combine multiple characteristics.
Before investing in Structured Notes, it is strongly suggested that the "Risks and Other Considerations" in the below hyperlink be reviewed:
