Barclays Wealth has launched two new structured products designed to give investors access to infrastructure stocks and the Asian equity market. The Guaranteed Global Infrastructure Account and Guaranteed Asian Equity Accounts are structured deposits that aim to diversify investors’ savings portfolios by providing exposure to the performance of a wide range of global markets and indices. Both are designed to return investors’ capital if held for their full term. The Guaranteed Global Infrastructure Account is linked to 50 constituents of the iShares FTSE/Macquarie Global Infrastructure 100; the Guaranteed Asian Equity Account returns are based on the performance of an equally weighted investment basket linked to India, China, Korea and Taiwan.
