The Listed Structured Products Market
Securities Institute October 2006
Tim Bevan – Product Management & Development

Existing Market
• The structured product market is a constantly evolving and competitive market. During 2004 149 major IFA products were launched taking in a total sales volume of approximately £5 billion
• Over recent years the number of active product providers has increased and so has the corresponding number of products launched onto the market.
• As a result of the higher level of competition, we have seen a dramatic decrease in the size of the average tranche. Currently the average tranche size is between £5 to 10 million and we expect it to remain at this level.

Growing Interest
• More interest from wealth managers in LSP's for
(i) market access plays,
(ii) upside exposure with capital protection,
(iii) tailoring return profiles to match specific client
or in- house investment views
• Products already seen in the market linked to a diverse range of underlyers - from FTSE to VIX to House Prices to Commodity Indices to Emerging market equities
* Source: London Stock Exchange, period covered 28th Oct 2002 to 31st July 2005

Tailoring the risk /return profile
• Structured Products can allow you to take advantage of different views on the same market
• We compare four 5 year products linked to the FTSE 100:
Aggressive: 200% upside participation; or
100% downside participation
ETF: 3.5% assumed dividend yield (constant cash dividends through time)
4.5% interest earned on dividends
Conservative:
100% protection, 133% upside participation
Very Conservative:
Minimum return of 120% of investment; or100% plus 70% upside participation
7
Tailoring the risk /return profile
• Different investment strategies outperform in different market return scenarios – your investment choice should be determined by your personal view and investment strategy

New Issuer & new Wrapper
• Barclays Capital in conjunction with Barclays Stockbrokers have just launched iNotes
• Utilise MTN wrapper as opposed to Securitised Derivative wrapper
• London Stock Exchange platform now multi-issuer and multi-wrapper
www.stockbrokers.barclays.co.uk/in
17
Suitability
• Structured products are not the central theme of the portfolio– No desire for additional operational, administrative,
regulatory risk– Or indeed reputational risk– Time constraint
• London Stock Exchange listing makes it simple– Listed on RIE– Regulatory comfort– Acceptance from trustees, directors, administrators,
investors– Have a SEDOL number - easy to identify
18
Ease of Dealing
• Listing, dealing and settlement arrangement the same as for ordinary shares– Use normal broker for execution– T+3 CREST settlement
• Dealt during normal LSE trading hours, with guaranteed liquidity and maximum dealing spreads
• Use TIDM code• Liquidity is good• Can buy and sell at any time within product’s life
– Although often best considered as a hold to maturity• Automatic exercise, with safety net
19
Costs and Value
• Costs really matter for structured products– Not like active star fund managers, where
outperformance can outweigh cost differential• No annual management charges
– Comparison with ETFs• No stamp duty• Dealing spreads are reasonable
– Even though these are not trading products• No extra administrative costs - custody fees etc• Comparing value with other products not always
easy– Depends on your own requirements
20
Price Transparency
• Continuous two-way pricing at all times• Two price sources - LSE and issuers
– Comparatively easy for valuations– Useful for integration into real-time spreadsheets
for valuation, modelling, record-keeping etc
• Historic information available• Trading volumes available

Disadvantages
• Complexity• Adverse price movements• Normally no income - even if underlying asset
pays a dividend• Cannot be sold short• Premium (time value decay)• Limited life - need to incorporate a timeframe into
decisions
23
Flexibility• No exchange defined contracts, entirely at the discretion of the
issuer as to the terms of the products listed, the underlying asset and the pricing.
• Time to market from conception to listing can be as little as 48 hours
Bespoke• Issuers will tailor make products to suit client needs in relatively
small size (£500k)
• Investor maintains a bilateral relationship with issuer(s)

comparable product
Ease of access and transparency
• Dedicated platform though part of the domestic market
• All price information distributed over LMIL and displayed by information vendors
• All business printed to the market – reliable statistics (though anonymity of investor preserved)
• Term sheets and literature available for all products
Regulated & supervised• Issuers obligated to price continuously throughout the lifetime of the
product
• Subject to the rules and regulations of the London Stock Exchange
