Incapital is a leader in education for financial advisors, serving both fixed income and Structured Products markets. Incapital’s structured investment's team distributes structured notes and CDs through over 700 broker-dealers, banks and RIAs.
Experience: Incapital’s Structured Investments Team has over 65 years of industry experience in the U.S. and international fixed income, equity derivatives and Structured Products markets. This experience includes banks and broker-dealers including Morgan Stanley, CIBC World Markets, Bank of Montreal, Wachovia Securities, Scotiabank, Chase Manhattan Bank and Southwest Securities.
Diversity: Incapital offers a diversified suite of structured products from issuers providing access to a wide rage of underlying asset classes, shaped returns (full or partial principal protection), and a variety of products based on a particular view oriented toward a specific outcome. Incapital’s offerings include inflation-linked notes and CDs, LIBOR range accruals, CMS non-inversion and steepeners, equity-linked cliquets, shark-fin (barrier structures) CDs, reverse exchangeable notes, and equity-linked yield generators.
Liquidity: Incapital’s secondary market trading desk provides the ability to access a price for structured investments that offer quantities and maturities not currently available in the new issue market. This represents a dramatic shift in the business, in that historically, the issuer would have been the only true liquidity provider. While many issuers make markets in their own structured investments, Incapital makes markets utilizing multiple issuers of structured products.
Education: Incapital offers an extensive online continuing education platform which may qualify for firm element CE credit. These consist of five modules and include 15-25 questions each. Incapital also hosts quarterly conferences that are co-sponsored by issuer partners and can provide customized educational seminars for investment professionals in conjunction with a sponsoring firm.
Technology: Incapital’s state-of-the-art technology platforms allow for trading desks to access our inventory of primary and secondary offerings through Bloomberg (ICAN <GO>) or purchase offerings directly at Incapnet.com, Incapital’s proprietary trading and reporting site. Incapital’s up-to-date structured investments inventory is also available in the Offerings Section.

Additionally, we offer white-papers and brochures for broker-dealer and client use, market news, regulatory information, SI newsletter, and monthly conference calls for Incapital’s offerings.
