What is the primary focus of a structured product?

  1. Capital preservation

  2. Short-term investments

  3. High-risk ventures

  4. Real estate acquisitions

The correct answer is: Capital preservation

A structured product is primarily focused on capital preservation, which refers to protecting an investor's initial capital investment by minimizing the risk of losing money. This goal is different from short-term investments, as structured products are designed for longer-term investments rather than quick gains or loss mitigation. While some structured products may involve high-risk ventures or real estate acquisitions, the main objective remains to preserve capital.
