The popularity of commodities has been illustrated by the launch of three new commodity structured products, two of which offer protected exposure to soft (agricultural) commodities for the first time.
Dawnay Day Quantum’s product offers 105 per cent upside to a basket of soft commodities over five years, with 100 per cent capital protection. Close Brother’s tradeable synthetic trust offers 125 per cent exposure to a basket of soft commodities, with 85 per cent protection. Meanwhile, Barclays Stockbrokers’ investment note offers 125 per cent exposure to a diversified commodity basket over five years, with full protection.
