Market Risk:

The risk that underlying market movements affect your investment's performance. In structured notes, this is often limited by caps, floors, or buffers built into the structure.

Credit Risk:

The risk that the issuing bank cannot meet its obligations. We manage this through careful issuer selection and diversification.

Liquidity Risk:

The risk that you cannot easily sell your investment before maturity. Most structured notes have limited secondary market liquidity, which is why we focus on investments you can hold to maturity.

Interest Rate Risk:

Changes in interest rates can affect the value of structured notes, particularly those with longer terms. We consider rate environments when designing structures.

Inflation Risk:

The risk that inflation erodes your purchasing power over time. Growth-oriented structured notes can help mitigate this risk.

Currency Risk:

If your structured note is linked to foreign assets or currencies, exchange rate movements can affect returns. We clearly identify any currency exposures.

How we manage risk:

• Thorough due diligence on all issuers and structures

• Diversification across issuers, terms, and underlying assets

• Stress testing strategies against various market scenarios

• Clear disclosure of all risks before investment

• Ongoing monitoring of all positions

Risk vs. reward:

Every investment involves trade-offs. Structured notes allow you to customize these trade-offs to match your specific risk tolerance and return objectives.

Want to understand the specific risks and rewards for your situation? Risk management isn't one-size-fits-all. Our team can walk you through exactly how different structured note strategies would work for your specific goals and risk tolerance.
