Structured Products
Products that are commonly used as a portfolio enhancement tool to increase returns while limiting the risk of capital loss.
The strength of a structured product lies in its flexibility and tailored approach to investing. In their simplest form, structured products offer investors full or partial capital protection coupled with potential return based on the performance of any underlying security or combinations of securities. They are commonly used as a portfolio enhancement tool to increase returns while limiting the risk of capital loss.
Structured products can be extensively customized to meet a specific investor’s risk/return profile and investment objectives. These objectives may include capital protection, diversification, yield enhancement, leverage, regular income, tax/regulation optimization, and access to non-traditional asset classes, among others.

How does it work?
The illustration below is based on an investment amount of MYR1,000,000 and a duration of 1 month.
Example:
Current spot rate of AUDMYR is 3.0300. Mr A holds a conservative view that AUDMYR will move within range of 3.0000 to 3.1000 and he prefers to buy AUD at a cheaper rate, hence he chooses a Strike Rate of 3.0150 which is below current spot rate of 3.0300. He decides to invest MYR1,000,000 to enjoy higher returns. He does not mind holding AUD as his daughter is currently studying in Australia and does not need these funds for another month, so, he chooses an investment tenure of 1 month. The yield quoted to Mr. A based on the currency, strike rate and tenure that he chose is 7% p.a.
Based on the above example, here are 2 possible scenarios:
