Overview
Also known as market-linked investments, structured products have gained popularity in the United States and are often offered as SEC-registered products suitable for the retail investment market. While this allows providers to offer more investment options, entering the retail market also complicates the regulatory environment. Katten's Structured Products team helps financial institutions, derivatives dealers, and hedge fund and other asset managers achieve business goals and minimize risk in the face of increasing regulation.
