Ghost Stories Ep35: The Global Accelerator (with Japie Lubbe, Structured Products at Investec)

Listen Later

The Global Accelerator offers 100% capital protection in dollars at maturity after five years, while giving exposure to global equity indices.

To explain how it all works, Japie Lubbe of Investec Structured Products joined me on this podcast and covered the following topics:

  • The design of the underlying equity basket
  • The use of “insurance” in an equity portfolio and how this can be understood in the context of more familiar concepts like car and home insurance
  • The upside of the Global Accelerator, both on an accelerated basis and a capped basis
  • The payoff of this product vs. buying an ETF that tracks a similar equity index, with specific reference to how dividends work
  • Building blocks of the Global Accelerator in terms of company structure and the various instruments used
  • Fees involved and how they compare to unit trusts
  • The liquidity available over the five-year period
  • How a debt instrument is used to provide capital protection and understanding the credit risk associated with this debt instrument.

    • Applications close 21 May 2024.

    As always you must do your own research and speak to your financial advisor before investing in a product like this. You can find all the information you need on the Investec website at this link.
