The ABC of Structured Products - The tailored solution to your wealth challenges

Welcome to the Asia Risk/Société Générale glossary for structured
products, an invaluable guide for structurers, traders,marketers,
distributors, analysts, journalists and investors in this fast-growing market.
However complicated they may seem to the investor, today’s
structured products are based around a combination of some very basic
financial concepts.This book brings these concepts together and offers
standardised definitions and explanations, which can be understood by
the layman and PhD quant alike. It also explains some of the more
common combinations of these essential financial building blocks, while
allowing the imaginations of structurers to roam freely through the terms
dreaming up new and profitable structures.
Terms were selected by the team at Société Générale, with additional
research by Asia Risk journalists.We searched all available literature,spoke
to hundreds of traders and used SG trading and structuring expertise to
select the most common,yet often most misunderstood,words and
phrases.Terms were selected for their fundamental importance and
common use – alas,we had to reject the hamster option, which despite
the clever pun on the German for “range accrual”, has never been heard on
an Asian trading floor nor structurers’ office.But we have nearly 500 terms,
representing the most complete guide to structured products
terminology in the market today.
