Structured Products is the broad definition to those investment products that have some form of derivative underlying component. This means that unlike a cash product such as a equity, a structured product provides an investor some form of tailored solution which alters the payoff structure compared with the cash (underlying) market.
There are many examples of structured products but one common example may be a Capital Protected Equity Structured Product whereby an investor purchases a security that provides capital protection in the event the equity market falls from the level it was at the date of purchase.
