On behalf of the Swiss Structured Products Association (SSPA), the Swiss Finance Institute (SFI) carried out a study which enables transparency in terms of performance, cost and investment opportunities of structured products for the first time. According to the analysis, the observed terms generated yields between 5% and 15% p.a. under normal market conditions. The results show that the Total Expense Ratio (TER) of Structured Products lies between 0.3% and 1.7% p.a. including net margin and both production and distribution fees. During the investigation period, the observed Structured Products developed positively at a reasonable cost.

The SFI White Paper study proves scientifically that structured products pose efficient investment opportunities.»
