Structured products are designed to meet specific investment objectives for retail investors, such as growth, income or risk management. They typically combine a traditional security, like a bond, with a derivative component. Unlike a mutual fund or exchange-traded fund (ETF), a structured note does not hold an actual underlying portfolio of investments. Instead, the note issuer promises to pay a return based on a formula that incorporates the performance of one or more reference assets. Source: FINRA |
