This book has two themes: Private Banking and investment decisions
regarding Structural Financial Products. Dr. Dimitris Chorafas
examines in a rigorous way whether structured financial products
are advisable investments for retail and institutional investors
and, if yes, which risks they entail. As our society becomes
increasingly affluent, and state-supported pension schemes find it
difficult to survive, a growing number of high net-worth
individuals, and families, have become retail investors - looking
for ways and means to optimize wealth management, and Private
Banking deals with these sorts of clients. Private banking also
deals with clients that are institutional investors, such as
pension funds, mutual funds, and insurance companies, as well as
not-for-profits, foundations and companies explicitly set up for
wealth management. Both institutional and retail investors are
being offered by the banks they work with structured products.
Typically, these are securities that provide them with a redemption
amount, with may be either with full or partial capital protection,
and some type of return. The book examines structured financial
products, their polyvalent nature, and the results which could be
expected from them.
Return on structural instruments, which are essentially
derivatives, is paid in function of a specific investment strategy
on selected underlying asset(s). This essentially means on the
performance of the underlyings, obtained by asset managers, which
may be banks or hedge funds, through purchase or sale of embedded
options. But there are risks. Both risk and return from structured
products are related to three main issues: the volatility of future
value of anunderlying, the uncertainty of future events, and the
exposure of the product. Every type of investment is subject to
market forces, and the more leveraged a portfolio is, the greater
will probably be both the assumed risk and the expected reward. The
fact that structured financial products appeal, or at least are
being marketed, to both retail investors and institutional
investors makes the dual approach deliberately chosen in this book
most advisable. This book addresses all these issues in a practical
manner with numerous case studies and real-world examples drawn
from the author's intensive research.
*Because it is based on intensive research, the book is rich in
practical examples and case studies
*Addresses the growing trend towards the use of structured
financial instruments in private banking
*Thorough treatment of structured financial products that keeps
maths to a minimum
