Structured Investment Products (SIPs) are trending, but are they smart or sketchy? In this episode of Alternative Investments Chat, Erin and Erica break down the truth behind these pre-packaged combos of bonds, stocks, and derivatives. Using analogies from Build-a-Bear to budget airlines, they unpack how SIPs promise custom strategies, downside protection, and potentially higher returns, even when markets flatline.

But there’s a catch: complexity, credit risk, and fees galore. Whether you’re intrigued by the tailored nature of these products or cautious about the fine print, this episode gives you the clarity you need to decide if SIPs are a savvy strategy or a financial trap.

Listen to Learn:

  • What Structured Investment Products are and how they’re built
  • Why SIPs appeal to investors looking for downside protection or market-neutral gains
  • How credit risk and fees can undermine their potential benefits
  • The difference between principal-protected and yield-enhanced structures
  • Red flags to watch for when evaluating custom investment products
