Our range of structured products has expanded significantly over the past few years, both in terms of underlying assets, payoffs and structures. Our structured products are most often equity-linked, through shares, indices, and to a lesser degree commodities, mutual funds, hidden assets (e.g. volatility, correlation and dividends) and hybrids. Equity Derivatives Structured Products are tailor made to meet investors’ specific risk/return profiles. Paribas’ products offer many advantages over other investments, which include the opportunity to combine a principal protected investment with a return linked to equity markets. Our products also offer risk controlled access to volatile asset classes and to diversified and flexible investment tools.
