Overview
Structured Investment Products: The Good, The Bad And The Ugly
Structured investment products have become a catchphrase in 2008, denoting images of massive financial losses for investors who put their money and their faith behind some of the more complex financial products in this asset class - investments that promised supposed protection for investors and then failed to deliver. Among those at the center of controversy: credit-default swaps.
A Primer On Structured Investment Products
The names may be different - from Lehman Brothers Principal Protected Notes to Pinnacle Series 9 and 10 to DBS High Notes 5 - but for many investors of these complicated structured finance products, the end result is the same. Their investments have been wiped out. Structured finance products are generally described as securities mixed with other derivatives and whose repayment value is linked to the performance of the underlying assets. Those assets can include a single security, a pool of securities, stock, bonds, debt issuances, foreign currencies or swaps.
