Introduction to Structured Notes
Offshore structured products, known as Structured Notes, refer to hybrid securities issued in the form of bonds outside the Republic of China (Taiwan). These products combine fixed-income securities with various derivative financial instruments, such as equity, interest rates, exchange rates, indices, commodities, credit events, or other interests. The main structure involves incorporating various types of options into fixed-income securities, and the investment profits and losses linked to different underlying assets which has a different type of return compared to traditional fixed-income securities.
Structured Notes are different from common derivative financial instruments (such as futures and options). Most of the Structured Notes are customized financial instruments based on contractual agreements, resulting in limited trades in stock exchange markets while the majority of trades happened directly with investment banks through over-the-counter market (OTC). On the other hand, futures and options are mainly traded through exchanges. Furthermore, the returns of Structured Notes are not only derived from the performance of underlying assets but also from the structure design that combines various types of options. Therefore, due to their tailored nature, Structured Notes can be designed by investors’ preference for underlying, investment horizon, and risk tolerance.
