Products with minimum redemption gain traction in Apac, DBS Bank

The scepticism in the ability of the market to move up in consistent fashion and expectation for two-way volatility has led to an increased demand for structured products featuring minimum redemption at maturity, according to Rohit Jaisingh ( pictured ), head of equity products advisory at DBS Bank in Asia. The main reason is that investors are not exposed to unlimited downside loss potential and the invested principal can only be eroded in part in the worst-case scenario, according to Jaisingh.
