LUXSIPA Hosts Successful Structured Product Event at Banque de Luxembourg
On January 16, 2025, LUXSIPA organized a highly anticipated event at Banque de Luxembourg, drawing over 100 professionals from the Luxembourg financial sector. The event was marked by insightful discussions and innovative product presentations, leaving attendees inspired and well-informed.
The evening commenced with a lively debate between two renowned economists, Florian Roger of BNP Paribas, and Daniele Antonucci of Quintet Private Bank. Moderated by Renato Strillacci from Banque Transatlantique, the discussion delved into the challenges investors will face in 2025. Key topics included the potential impact of Trump’s policies, the resurgence of inflation, and the concentration of the U.S. market on a handful of stocks. The economists provided valuable insights, emphasizing the need for strategic investment planning in the face of these uncertainties.
Following the debate, the focus shifted to the presentation of two structured products. The first was a callable protected note linked to the S&P 500 Equally Weighted Index. This product offers investors exposure to the U.S. market’s upside while guaranteeing the capital invested at maturity. In exchange for the issuer’s right to early redemption, investors are entitled to receive a coupon proportional to the years elapsed or a participation rate to the upside of the underlying exceeding 100%. This innovative structure was well-received by the audience, who appreciated the balance of risk and reward. The second presentation, led by Giovanni Feraudo from Société Générale Private Banking, introduced the concept of Dual Currency Investment and their relevance in the current market conditions. Giovanni explained how these products can allow investors to extract yield from the volatility seen on the foreign exchange market, making them particularly suitable for today’s investment landscape. The audience was captivated by the detailed explanation and the potential these instruments hold.
The formal part of the event concluded with a networking cocktail, where participants and speakers mingled in a convivial atmosphere. The cocktail provided an excellent opportunity for attendees to exchange ideas, forge new connections, and discuss the evening’s insights further. The feedback from participants was overwhelmingly positive, with many praising the event’s organization and the quality of the presentations. This marked the third event of its kind organized by LUXSIPA, and each year, the attendance and enthusiasm have grown. The event has become a staple in the Luxembourg financial community, known for its informative content and networking opportunities. As the financial landscape continues to evolve, such events play a crucial role in keeping professionals informed and connected. LUXSIPA’s commitment to fostering dialogue and innovation within the financial sector was evident throughout the evening. The event underscored the importance of staying ahead of market trends and adapting to new challenges. With the success of this event, LUXSIPA has set a high standard for future gatherings, and the financial community eagerly awaits the next opportunity to learn and engage. The positive feedback and growing attendance are a testament to the event’s relevance and the organizers’ dedication to excellence.
