Why structured products?
In Consultation Paper 09/18 concerning the Retail Distribution Review the FSA said:
"We would expect that if a structured investment product would best meet the client's needs and risk profile, then an independent financial adviser should have sufficient knowledge of these products to be able to recognise this and make a recommendation to buy this product".
Aside from any regulatory requirement, we believe that IFAs who ignore structured products are doing their clients and their profession a disservice.
Why Lowes?
Lowes have been reviewing the structured product market for some 15 years. As one of the first to warn about what became known as ‘precipice bonds’ via our published analysis "The Truth Behind Those High Yield Stockmarket Bonds" our review service subsequently helped many advisers avoid the likes of the Keydata Secure Income Bond (read our review from 2005). Equally as important, the service identified some of the better value investments such as Keydata's Growthbuilder Plan and Dynamic Growth Plan and Nvesta's Quad Tracker, which have done very well for our clients.
