Product Codes

Structured products are used by many investors to achieve defined returns and a certain level of protection against market falls. There is a range of different products available to UK retail investors, and no standard naming convention. Often, the same type of product will be marketed under a different name by different providers.

UKSPA has therefore created a series of Product Codes, broken down into four main sectors: Protected, Non-Protected, Growth and Income. These codes are intended as a reference guide, to help advisers and investors understand what the different types of product are and their key features. Please look out for our logos and Product Code numbers on our members' product brochures, and refer back to this page to find out more information.

To view our educational videos please click on the relevant product code below in each sector.

Please note that the information contained in these pages is for information only, and investors must still read the literature for a specific product in full before making a decision to invest in that product.
