Structured Product Services: Manage Risk for Intelligent Returns

Investors in today's ever-changing financial world look for solutions with both capital protection and participation in the growth of the market. Structured Products have proved to be an intelligent solution for managing risk while getting exposure to market-linked returns.

At VSRK Capital, an AMFI-registered mutual Fund Distributor, we educate investors on comprehending, analyzing, and investing in Structured Products that suit their risk profile and expected returns. Through this guide, we will discuss what they are, how they function, their advantages, and the reasons behind their popularity in India.

What are Structured Products?

Structured Products are tailor-made financial products that blend core finance products such as bonds or fixed deposits, with derivatives. They are specialized products with parametric features designed for investors with particular investment requirements in respect of principal protection, exposure to markets, and tax treatment.

Since these structured finance products allow investors to create their own risk-return profiles, profiles that are impossible to obtain by combining stand-alone traditional products, they provide investors with a truly customized profile. Banks, NBFCs, and occasionally through an insurance company, provide them as part of a diversified basket.

Structured Products are best suited for:

  • Protection of invested capital
  • Exposure to market-linked investment returns
  • Solutions designed according to investment horizon and risk appetite

Main Features of Structured Products

1. Principal Protection

Most structured -products provide partial or total principal protection. Thus, they are appropriate for conservative investors seeking safety with some potential for gains.

2. Participation in the Market

They enable investors to take advantage of the appreciation of underlying assets such as equity indices, commodities, or interest rate instrumentsβ€”basically playing the role of market-linked investments without actually investing in those assets.

3. Personalization

Each investor possesses an individual risk profile. Structured finance products can be designed to accommodate those specifications, providing numerous possible outcomes.

4. Diversification

Such products usually incorporate debt and equity components in a mix, offering diversified asset allocation and balanced risk exposure.

How Do Structured Products Work?

A standard structured product is comprised of two components:

  • Debt instrument (Bond or Deposit): Capital protection and principal refund on maturity.
  • Derivative Component: Exposes one to market instruments, including Nifty, gold, or interest rates-potentially a higher return.

This structure helps investors benefit from linked investments while limiting downside risk.

Example:

An investor invests β‚Ή10 lakh in a 5-year structured product. β‚Ή9 lakh is invested in a zero-coupon bond that repays after 5 years at β‚Ή10 lakh, providing protection of capital. The balance β‚Ή1 lakh is invested in an option on Nifty 50, and returns are made dependent on index movement.

Types of Structured Products

Various combinations of derivatives and debt give rise to various categories of structured-products. Some of them are:

1. Capital-Protected Notes (CPNs)

  • Provide a 100% return of the principal amount
  • Connected to commodities, mutual funds, and equity indices
  • Long-term, low-risk investors particularly benefit from the function.

2. Index-Linked Structured Products

  • Returns based on the performance of stock indices such as Nifty or Sensex
  • Partial or no capital protection
  • Applicable for moderate risk-takers

3. Equity-Linked Debentures (ELDs)

  • Blend fixed income securities with equity returns
  • Offer fixed interest and market performance gains

4. Range Accrual Notes

  • Returns accrue only if the underlying asset remains in a specified range
  • Prevalent in interest rates or forex-based products

Advantages of Structured Product Investment

Let's analyze the advantages that make structured products a favorite among investors looking for optimized risk-adjusted returns:

  • 1. Equilibrium Risk and Reward: They permit market exposure while protecting part of your investment. Equilibrium like this is hard to find in normal investments.
  • 2. Customized Investment: From long-term first-time investment to short-term plans, structured finance products are versatile enough to accommodate diversified investor requirements.
  • 3. Capital Protection: One of the main highlights is safety. Most products provide 100% protection of the principal at maturity.
  • 4. Better Returns: They are engineered to provide greater return potential than traditional FDs or bonds by aligning returns with underlying securities such as stocks, indices, or asset-backed securities.
  • 5. Tax Advantages: structured-products products, in some instances, provide tax advantages with the benefits of capital gains treatment or certain tax-saving wrappers.
  • 6. Diversified Exposure: Structured products may comprise several assetsβ€”equity, debt, derivativesβ€”giving exposure to a diversified range of financial instruments in one product.
