Structured Deposit

Deposits absorbed by commercial banks embedded in financial derivatives

At a Glance

Structured deposits are deposits absorbed by commercial banks embedded with financial derivatives, which are linked to fluctuations in interest rates, exchange rates, indices, etc. or to the credit of an entity, so that customers can obtain relevant returns on the basis of taking certain risks.

DBS China provides customized structured deposits to corporate and institutional customers. By referencing interest rates, exchange rates, gold, indices, securities, funds, credits, etc., customers take certain risks in return for potential yield linked to the performance of the underlying, as agreed upon subscription to a structured deposit.

According to the customer's investment needs and risk tolerance, structured deposits can be designed to be fully principal protected, partially principal protected or no principal protected at all. According to the customer’s expectations of the performance of the underlying, the financial derivatives embedded in the structured deposit can be designed to pay the customer a return higher than interest rate of a term deposit for the same tenor if the underlying’s price rises, falls, or fluctuates within a certain range. Different types of financial derivatives and their combinations, such as European, Asian, digital, barrier options, total return swap, structured option combination and structured swap can also be applied to meet the different needs of various customers for payoff structures.

The structured deposits provided by DBS China can be denominated in RMB or foreign currencies, and the maturity usually ranges from 1 month to 5 years.
