Investing in real estate and other real assets
By investing in housing, properties and forest, the company can diversify its investments in real assets. Companies can invest in real assets directly or through specialised investment funds.
Investing in structured products
With structured investment products, your company seeks returns in varying market conditions, including in a bear market. Structured investment products are based on a carefully selected theme, and they take account of current market conditions. The underlying assets typically include stocks, currencies and credit risks. Structured investment products have a specific subscription period and maturity date. The subscription period runs for one to two months.
Investing in bonds and money market instruments
Businesses can make use of money market instruments and bonds as both investment products and for financing purposes. As an investment, money market instruments and bonds offer predictability for the company's finances because their yield and maturity are known in advance.
Investing in derivatives
Derivatives can be used to form investment products whose return and risk profile can be tailored according to your company's market views and needs. The value of derivatives is based on the value of an underlying asset. Underlying assets include securities, currencies and indexes. The company can also use derivatives as a hedge against market risks.
