A Study of the Demand Side of the U.S. Structured Products Market
- Lizi Zhu, Stuart Management Science Ph.D. student
Abstract:
Structured products are complex financial derivatives. The structured products market has been making a relatively strong comeback since the financial crisis in 2008. However, there is very little academic research that tries to understand why such a market exists in the first place. In particular, what are the motives for investors to use these products in their portfolio? Are investors rational in choosing structured products over traditional asset classes? My research tries to answer these questions.
All Illinois Tech faculty, students, and staff are invited to attend.
The Friday Research Presentations series showcases ongoing academic research projects conducted by Stuart School of Business faculty and students, as well as guest presentations by Illinois Tech colleagues, business professionals, and faculty from other leading business schools.
