Our Bespoke Offerings
Linked notes
Linked Notes are bespoke debt instruments designed to provide investors with exposure to the performance of an underlying asset. By combining customized structuring with market-driven insights, these notes offer unique opportunities for enhanced returns while managing risk effectively.
Our Structured Products Division (SPD) structures Credit-Linked Notes (CLNs) and Equity-Linked Notes (ELNs) to cater to varying investment strategies.
- Credit-linked Note: Fixed-income securities where returns are linked to the credit performance of a reference entity. CLNs allow investors to gain exposure to credit markets while managing risk and enhancing yield.
- Equity-Linked Note: Structured notes whose payouts are tied to the performance of a specific stock, basket of stocks, or equity index. ELNs provide investors with potential capital appreciation while incorporating protective features to mitigate downside risk.
Total Return Notes
SPD structures Total Return Notes (TRNs) as bespoke, foreign currency-denominated fixed-income instruments linked to high-quality Eurobonds. Designed to enhance yield and optimize portfolio diversification, TRNs provide investors with strategic exposure to global credit markets.
By leveraging carefully selected Eurobonds, our structured TRNs offer:
- Stable fixed income returns with enhanced yield potential.
- Access to global credit markets through foreign currency-denominated securities.
- Customized structuring to align with investor objectives and risk preferences.
With TRNs, investors can achieve a balanced approach to income generation and capital appreciation, backed by a structured, risk-managed framework.
