Structured products are created by taking a traditional security, such as a bond, and replacing the usual payment features, i.e., the periodic coupon or interest payment and the final principal payment, with a different payoff that is based on the performance of one or more underlying assets, such as the performance of a certain stock or bond index.
There are innumerable forms of structured products, and they have been called equity linked notes, market-linked product or principal protected notes. Structured products often are sold as a way to obtain the safety and protection of a conservative bond investment or mutual fund while allowing the investor to enjoy the returns of stocks and derivatives. But these complex products often subject investors to significant risk.
One recent example is structured products issued by Lehman Brothers and underwritten and sold by UBS. UBS represented these products as safe and as providing "principal protection." But investors actually were subjected to great risk and lost all of their money when Lehman Brothers filed for bankruptcy protection.
