Attendees arrive for a networking lunch — an opportunity to meet peers, sponsors, and speakers before the sessions begin.
Brief opening remarks to introduce the day’s agenda and highlight key topics.
Innovation in downside protection has accelerated, with Quantitative Investment Strategies (QIS) offering more dynamic and efficient ways to manage risk. By combining systematic rules with flexible structuring, QIS enables tailored protection while maintaining upside participation. This keynote explores how these strategies are reshaping structured products, improving transparency, and responding to evolving market conditions where traditional hedging approaches are no longer sufficient.
How are evolving European regulatory priorities reshaping the structured product landscape? A practical discussion covering the Retail Investment Strategy (RIS) with its new inducement governance, emerging Value for Money frameworks (including a new peer group methodology by the EU Commission), and the implications for product design, pricing, and distribution. We will also explore key differences between US and EMEA regulatory approaches, as well as the hurdles, such as taxation, of a more integrated EU Single Market for cross-border distribution of products.
Refreshments and informal discussions.
A practical, data-driven discussion on what is actually selling in 2026—and why. This panel explores how advisors are positioning structured products within portfolios today, how trade-offs between yield, protection, and liquidity are being managed in current market conditions, and which product structures are gaining (or losing) relevance, including ESG-linked solutions.
Bringing together issuers and distributors, the conversation will also address how product design can better align with client needs, and how technology is reshaping access, transparency, and scalability across the structured products ecosystem.
Exclusive data-driven presentation of the latest SP Intelligence research and analytics, highlighting issuance volumes, investor behavior, and emerging product categories - with a dedicated lens on Nordic structured product flows and distribution models.
A strategic discussion with senior leaders on where the industry is heading: margins, regulation, technology disruption, and the future of manufacturing.
A wrap-up of the day’s insights, followed by a brief Q&A to address audience questions.
A final opportunity for attendees to network and relax after the day’s sessions, with drinks served in a social setting.
