Structured Retail Products
Comprehensive advisory across the structured retail products value chain — from product strategy and design through distribution, servicing, and regulatory compliance.
The UK and EU structured retail products market is growing materially, driven by demand from wealth managers and IFAs seeking yield enhancement and capital protection solutions. But navigating this market requires genuine expertise across the full value chain — from product origination through to distribution and ongoing servicing.
Eaton Vasey's structured products practice draws on deep experience processing, analysing, and managing structured retail products across equity, credit, rates, and commodity markets at Goldman Sachs. This is not generalist advisory — it is specialist knowledge built over two decades inside the institutions that manufacture and distribute these products.
We advise wealth managers, IFAs, asset managers, and product manufacturers on strategy, design, regulatory compliance, and platform capability. Whether you're building a structured products offering from scratch or optimising an existing programme, we provide the independent, conflict-free perspective that ensures decisions are made in your clients' interests.
Our work extends beyond strategy into practical implementation. Through our AscendencyAI partnership, we can design and build the technology platforms, documentation engines, and compliance workflows that make structured product programmes operationally viable and scalable.
