Exchange-listed structured products are financial instruments issued by authorized financial institutions (issuers) and traded in the spot market of the Hong Kong Stock Exchange, allowing investors to "hedge", "arbitrage", "directional investment” and other tools.
The returns of structured products depend on the performance of their underlying assets which can be a stock, stock index, fixed income product, currency, commodity or a basket of assets. Structured products can be designed to meet the different expectations of investors on the price changes.
