How do structured forex products serve investors?

Structured products combine derivatives like options and swaps into tailored instruments. Institutions design them for clients needing specific hedges or yield enhancement. Example: dual-currency deposits offering higher interest if settlement occurs in a weaker currency. Benefits: customization and potential for enhanced returns. Risks: complexity, lack of transparency, and illiquidity. Retail investors often underestimate risks in exotic products. Structured forex solutions highlight finance’s creativity—powerful when understood, dangerous when blindly adopted.
