Customised Solutions

Sometimes, ‘off the shelf’ products are just not suitable for every client, all of the time.

RBS Retail Structured Products can provide customised solutions for one or more retail intermediaries where the aggregate investment is more than A$5,000,000.

We can do this by tweaking existing products, or create completely new products for a particular market. This service is particularly useful for those intermediaries who wish to add value to their clients by making available product solutions that meet particular investment needs and investment views of the intermediary and the client.

RBS is always happy to provide indicative pricing on any structure, without obligation.

Issuance of our products is dependant on the needs of our clients, and the size of the issue. Issuance options include:

  • RBS Issuer & PDS
  • Third Party Issuer & RBS prepares the PDS
  • Third Party Issuer & Third Party PDS – RBS provides the underlying hedge instrument
  • Offshore Issuers – Depending on the structure offshore issuers can be issued.
