Arc has launched its first commodities structured product, with returns linked to a basket of assets. The Protected Commodity Plan is based on oil, corn and copper with weightings applied retrospectively at the end of the five-year term. Under this system, the best-performing commodity will represent 50% of the basket, the next best 30% and 20% for the worst of the three. In the event compounded performance is negative, initial capital will still be returned in full. Arc head of product development Chris Powell said the plan is straightforward compared with others on the market. "...
