Structured notes come in two different forms—growth or income. One thing that is common throughout structured notes is the principal or coupon payment investment protection features. Although there are variations with each note, they will typically use one of three protection features. These features can help investors protect some of their investments during down or volatile market cycles.
As always, structured notes have a stated trade date and maturity date. They will end at maturity unless they are “called” early (to be discussed later). The principal protection features (and the notes themselves) are backed by the full faith and credit of the issuer. Make sure you understand any investment fully before investing in it and if you invest in a structured note, make sure it matches your risk profile and financial goals.
