As structured products become increasingly commoditized, transparent and accessible the market for these exciting investment products is rapidly growing and diversifying. Without doubt Euromoney Seminars’ Structured Products 2008 is the must attend event for all industry professionals working in the structured products arena.
With increasing uncertainty in the money markets, investor priorities are moving away from the promises of impressive returns with infallible capital protection and focusing on risk/return profiles, hedging tactics, integrating structured products and funds into tailored investment strategies and the realities of capital protection costs and structure.
Whilst the established consumer market of high net worth individuals (HNW) continues to grow in size and sophistication along with an ever increasing ‘high street’ investor base, a new consumer for structured products is establishing itself with a whole new set of priorities and expectations. Structured products are prevailing in the institutional space thanks to regulatory changes and improved transparency at the provider/consumer interface.
Euromoney’s Structured Products 2008 is the only conference to bring you both the retail and institutional investor perspective in two days of innovative and challenging debate.
The most senior representatives from Europe’s leading private banks, asset managers, hedge funds, distributors, regulators and institutional investors will meet in London to debate the most pertinent issues impacting the structured products market across the continent.
