• Performance strategies are not subject to a cap or maximum return
• With access to a wide array of indices and commodities, Performance structured products can help diversify your portfolio

The Role in Your Portfolio
Performance structured products are considered in the same asset class as their underlying asset.





The returns on structured products are linked to the performance of the relevant underlying asset or index.  Investing in a structured product is not equivalent to investing directly in the underlying asset or index. Clients should carefully read the detailed explanation of risks, together with other information in the relevant offering materials, including but not limited to information concerning the tax treatment of the investment, before investing in any structured product.
