Understanding Structured Products
Structured Products, sometimes called market-linked investments, are pre-packaged investments linked to an underlying asset or index. While they can offer attractive returns, they are also complex and can be risky if not properly understood or if they do not align with an investor’s profile. Learn more about these products through FINRA’s resource on Structured Notes.
What Investors Need to Know
Investors should be vigilant about their financial advisor’s recommendations, particularly with complex products such as Structured Notes. It’s crucial to ensure that your investment portfolio is diversified and that you fully understand the risks associated with any product.
