Schroders Korea, part of Schroder Investment Trust Management which has over USD177 billion in assets globally, is preparing to launch a series of capital guaranteed structured funds next year on the back of regulatory changes. "The regulatory body has started to recognize the importance of structured products," said K.J. Jeon, ceo in Seoul.
Korea's Financial Supervisory Service will ease regulations on the fund industry in December. As part of its plans Schroders will sell principal protected funds structured with over-the-counter options.
