Liquidity risk
Description
Structured products are designed to facilitate highly customized risk-return objectives. This is accomplished by taking
a traditional security, such as a conventional investment-grade bond, and replacing the usual payment features (e.g.
periodic coupons and final principal) with non-traditional payoffs derived not from the issuer's own cash flow, but
from the performance of one or more underlying assets.
Structured products were created to meet specific needs that cannot be met from the standardized financial
instruments available in the markets. Structured products can be used as an alternative to a direct investment, as part
of the asset allocation process to reduce risk exposure of a portfolio. The course gives a key features of Structured products
