"Investments are for the long run. 
If you persist long enough, you will profit”

We all know this sentence.

This is the cliché and it is indeed often true, but not always. Japan, Europe, China and even the US – all are examples that sometimes even a very long term is not long enough. Persisting is hard, especially when uncertainty is increasing, and investments do not evolve as you estimated.

Questions arise, such as “How much longer do we need to persist? How much will we profit?”. Structured Notes provide precise answers to these questions and others like in which situations will we profit? In which will we lose? How likely is that? In other words:

Structured Notes reduce uncertainty. They enable us to persist.
