Over the past year, interest-rate structured products have gone from being an investor favourite to an also-ran. Their decline is undoubtedly down to the US interest-rate curve morphing from a steep slope to virtually flat over the past 12 months as the Federal Reserve raised interest rates, and the market began dithering about the future of rate movements. The US interest-rate swaps curve has also flattened, placing more pressure on the US Treasury curve. The dip in the yield curve means that structured notes that take any view on markets rates have ceased to offer value. They rely on a steep interest-rate curve and there is uncertainty where interest rates will actually move to.
