Investec Structured Products has launched its latest collection of plans, offering a variety of structured risk and return profiles across two categories: deposit and investment.

“Structured products are really coming of age and we’re seeing strong demand for these investments as retail investors and IFAs continue to look at potential opportunities for upside growth whilst trying to protect their investments from market downswings,” said Gary Dale, head of intermediary sales.

“In response to the demand from advisors, we are pleased to continue with our 0 per cent commission versions on two of our kick-out plans,” Dale added. “This gives advisors the option to set the commission rate based on the fee they have agreed with their client.”

The firm said the range still includes the FTSE 100 Defensive Kick-Out Plan and 0 per cent commission versions of both the FTSE 100 Kick-Out Deposit Plan and the FTSE 100 Enhanced Kick-Out Plan.

Investec Structured Products is part of the capital markets division of London- and Johannesburg-listed Investec Bank.
