What are structured notes and are they right for me?

Structured notes are customized investment products linked to the performance of a market index, with built-in features like principal protection barriers, defined return caps, and automatic call provisions. They are not right for everyone, but for clients with the appropriate risk profile, time horizon, and liquidity needs, they can provide meaningful advantages — including defined downside protection and enhanced return potential in flat or moderately rising markets.
