Structured Funds
Structured Products are investment products where the return is linked to an underlying asset with pre-defined features like maturity date, coupon date and capital protection level. A structured product can be seen as a product package using three main components: a bond, one or more underlying assets and the financial instruments linked to these underlying assets.
An example of a structured product involves the investor giving up the potential upside exposure to the underlying asset in exchange for an enhanced coupon that can be either guaranteed or conditional. The investor is not exposed to the downside exposure, unless the underlying asset breaks through a predefined barrier set at the inception of the product. Other risks include issuer risk, liquidity risk, exposure to the performance of the underlying asset, exchange rate risk etc.
Ancoria Insurance offers structured funds that invest in structured products issued and guaranteed by at least five different highly ranked financial institutions, to reduce issuer risk. In March, one of Ancoria’s EUR structured funds automatically expired, a year after its launch, paying investors their capital plus an enhanced coupon. A similar EUR structured fund was launched and was fully subscribed later in the month. If market conditions permit it, we are planning to offer a new structured fund in Swedish krona later in the year.
Markets started off the year on a strong footing shrugging off turmoil from the banking crisis that unfolded in March, as inflation and interest rates discussions continue to dominate the market.
