Structured products – when are they useful and when not?

Summary

Structured products seem to be a world by themselves. They are often described in a highly technical and cryptic jargon. Not everyone who invests in structured products can be an expert. And above all, regulators worry about this misleading jargon. As a result they plan to ban this confusion.

A bit of scientific research can help to understand what structured products are all about. Furthermore, we explain whether they are a useful investment. In this talk we present – in a non-technical way – what recent research has found out about structured products. Join us!
