Structuring for every need

You seek flexibility and opportunities. We structure products that offer an appealing alternative to traditional financial assets.

Why a structured product?

Structured products present a compelling alternative to direct financial assets due to their adaptability and extensive customisation options. They can cater to specific requirements using a broad array of underlying securities and accommodate diverse market expectations depending on your risk profile.

Once you have defined the solution to meet your specific needs, you have access to our open architecture of 15 top-tier issuers, ensuring best execution covering both quantitative and qualitative aspects, and our experts are ready to support you at every step.

Following this, we provide proactive life-cycle monitoring to ensure your investments are continuously optimised.


Flexible solutions

We transform an investment idea into actionable solutions with multiple advantages:

Improved asset allocation 

Use structured products to improve the strategic allocation of your portfolio.

Cross asset classes

Without increasing the risk of your portfolio, you can increase your exposure to risky assets. You can add new asset classes with low correlation to those you already hold and enhance your diversification by country and sector.

Tactical opportunities

You can also perform tactical short-term trades, such as betting on a market trend or an event that you want to take advantage of.

Our Structured Product Offering

We provide five categories of investment solutions tailored to your objectives and desired level of risks and returns: 

These defensive investment solutions are suitable for investors seeking returns with the safety of predefined and unconditional capital protection at maturity.

These are solutions designed for investors seeking regular coupons and willing to forgo potential upside exposure to the underlying asset. This category entails downside buffers to reduce the risk of loss in comparison to a direct investment in the underlying.

Participation products are created to optimise participation in the performance of an underlying asset. This is achieved through enhancements such as downside buffers to minimise risks compared to a direct investment in the underlying or leverages to amplify returns.

Credit-linked products are tailored for investors seeking to enhance returns compared to traditional bond investments, through instruments for which the risks associated with credit events involve both the issuer and the reference debtor.

Commonly referred to as warrants, these products are designed for investors seeking to capitalise on the upward or downward movements of an underlying asset in exchange for a premium payment.

The team

Our experienced specialists have wide-ranging and in-depth expertise with structured products. In addition, they have access to the know-how of over 200 in-house investment specialists.

UBP Weekly View - Resilience returns to markets

Resilient macro data, softer inflation and strong corporate earnings have helped global markets recover, with equities reaching new highs and bonds extending gains. Expectations of further Fed rate cuts supported sentiment, while the USD strengthened amid JPY weakness and gold consolidation. However, with valuations near cycle peaks and policy uncertainty still looming, investors remain focused on upcoming central bank meetings for direction.

UBP Weekly View - Fragility builds in markets

The US government shutdown carries on, while the earnings season opened on a constructive note, nudging global equities higher amid softer trade rhetoric, resilient bank results and renewed hopes of Fed easing. These tailwinds, however, contrast with credit-quality concerns linked to regional-bank fraud reports and mounting unease over a potential AI-driven bubble, leaving markets more vulnerable to negative headlines. US inflation data due this week are expected to show moderate upward pressure.

UBP Weekly View - Earnings season kicks off

Investors have been wary of circular AI investments, stretched equity valuations, the threat of the trade war escalating, and the ripple effects of a prolonged US government shutdown, which itself has further disrupted economic data. This week, Q3 earnings will be in the spotlight, with the US’s largest banks set to lead the reporting season.

UBP Weekly View - US shutdown delays labour data

The US government shutdown, which began on 1 October, has delayed the release of the closely watched non-farm payrolls report. Other economic data published last week were downbeat, reinforcing our expectation that the Federal Reserve will implement two 25-basis-point rate cuts (on 29 October and 10 December) to counter labour market weakness. Meanwhile, negotiations over government spending between the Democrats and Republicans are set to continue in the run-up to the third-quarter earnings season.

UBP Weekly View - Markets brace for US labour report

Divergent remarks from Federal Reserve members combined with US macroeconomic data that was generally resilient have weighed on optimism for future rate cuts. Attention now turns to this week’s labour market report as a key gauge of job creation, while President Trump is set to meet Democratic and Republican leaders in an effort to avert a government shutdown.

Glossary

Structured products are highly flexible, efficient instruments which match almost any investment objective, and, unlike traditional investment instruments, they can also generate positive returns in falling or stagnant markets.

Structured products are designed to meet specific risk/return profiles and/or diversification requirements that cannot be achieved with traditional investment instruments. They can be structured to most asset classes, offering a tailor-made alternative to direct investments. They are, therefore, ideal for customising an investment solution to a client’s needs and preferences.

Products can be engineered across all pay-off categories (capital protection, yield enhancement, participation and leverage) and within all asset classes (equities, fixed income, foreign exchange and commodities).
