IFAs favour property-linked structured products
More than half of IFAs would recommend structured products linked to property markets but virtually none would consider products tied to hedge funds or commodities, according to research from Barclays Wealth.
Fifty-seven per cent of the 180 advisers surveyed by the company said they would consider recommending a product linked to the performance of commercial or real estate property, either in the UK or across the globe.
After property, advisers are most likely to recommend a product linked to interest rates, energy, and corporate bonds. But the survey, which did not offer an equities option, reveals that advisers are reluctant to recommend products linked to hedge funds or commodities, despite their perceived volatility.
