Structured Investments

Structured investments have become popular products with clients as they can be tailored to the specific investment needs and risk appetite of the client. They typically fall into three categories: over-the-counter transactions, securitised products and structured funds.   

Institutional clients use structured investments to complement and diversify their portfolios and to take advantage of other benefits such as preferential regulatory treatment. Other clients use these products to access the full range of investment profiles such as yield enhancement, participation, capital protection and leverage. They allow access to risk-return profiles and markets that have traditionally been unavailable to these clients. 

Nomura has pioneered a number of innovations in the Structured Investment market to respond to changing client needs, including Flexis, a securitisation vehicle issuing notes backed with collateral that provide bankruptcy protection. The team has also launched UCITS III regulated funds on our Enovara platform that offer clients an alternative way to invest in systematic strategies and derivative payoffs. 

It is our ambition to provide each client with the combination of payoff, underlying exposure and format which is most suitable from an economic, legal and regulatory perspective. For more information please visit our website.
