7 Definition of Structured Products A structured product is generally a pre-packaged investment strategy which is based on derivatives, such as a single security, a basket of securities, options, indices, commodities, debt issuances and/or foreign currencies, and to a lesser extent, swaps. They have arisen out of the significant product development within the financial industry over the last number of years & have acquired a strong position within international financial markets in the last 10 years. Structured products remain on real value as equities, bonds, indices or commodities. They offer an alternative to traditional investment solutions across the various asset classes / categories portfolio structures 7

8 Chances with Structure Products The investor can access new investment themes and markets The investor can secure positive returns in all market solutions, more investment opportunities than with traditional investments The investor can micro-manage investment risk 8

9 Chances with Structured Products Traditionally an investor is invested in one of the previously mentioned asset classes and would typically hold a long view. Structured products allow investors to participate in a non long way... They offer to the investor an attractive way to participate in markets with different risk profiles. Structured products are like the grains of sand on a beach there are endless solutions available to the investor dependant on their particular market view / investor profile. 9

10 Risks with Structure Products Structure products give you certain claims against the issuer, which is why issuer quality is so important. Risks vary depending on the type of product used by the investor. Some structure products are more suited to investors with a small appetite for risk, whereas others carry more risk. It is important to understand the risks involved with a specific product and its underlying, and that you discuss these with your client advisor your private banker. 10

11 Different investment solutions with Structured Products Structure Products can be used in all market situations. Different investors have different ideas for markets. In Switzerland on Scoach ( a rise of new issues of products since 2008 is shown. Currently more than products are listed. It is a jungle of products. How can the investor make a selection? 11

In addition, the coupon is paid out at maturity. If the underlying ever reaches or breaches the barrier between the issue date and the final fixing date, the following applies: 1. If the final fixing of the underlying is lower than the exercise price, the notional will be paid back for each Defender Vonti. In addition, the coupon is paid out at maturity. 2.
