Investment Excellence Awards 2025

17 | Wealth & Finance Q1 2024 Best Structured Investment Solutions Provider 2025 – UK A company designed specifically to deliver cogent, timely invest solutions across a range of client requirements and aspirations, MB Structured Investments (UK) Ltd comprises a team of experienced experts in this niche field, with their combined knowledge spanning more than 50 years in the realm of structured investment products. Striking a balance between traditional and innovative across its strategies, the company excels in the provision of bespoke solutions for a multitude of markets and clients. Below, we take a closer look at this award-winning solutions provider. For those unaware, a structured product is a pre-packaged investment where several elements are combined under the umbrella of a single strategy. Unlike many investment opportunities, the return and risk conditions are all fixed from the outset, resulting in the provision of known outcomes (dependent, of course, on the events of the wider market). Kick out, income, and growth are some of the more common types of product sold. Structured investment products have taken various guises throughout the decades, but they mainly come in three formats: structured deposits, capital protected products, and capital-at-risk-products. Exploring these in more detail, structured deposits are very similar to traditional fixedterm deposit accounts, with the primary difference being that the interest rate varies, and is usually linked to factors such as the FTSE 100 index. The second of these options, capital protected products, are not all that different to structured deposits, but it is important to note that the investor’s capital is not covered by the Financial Services Compensation Scheme (FSCS) as it is above. Similarly, capital-at-risk products mean – as their name suggests – that an investor’s capital is at risk, and it can be reduced in the event of poor performance. Limited protection is, however, still available, and it is in this that these products are distinct from riskier direct equity holdings. Well versed across many of these products, MB Structured Investments has collaborated with an award-winning, best-in-class plan manager and administration principal to offer a service that is unrivalled in terms of quality and impact. This is provided to professional investors as well as its IFA/wealth manager clients across the UK and beyond. Founded in 2020, MB Structured Investments is an appointed representative of Meteor Asset Management Ltd, which has been one of the UK’s leading structured product providers now for more than a decade. The former company is spearheaded by the team of Robbie Briginshaw, who has more than 20 years of experience in the realm of financial services for city-based investment firms, and Aaron Hearn, who brings to the table over 25 years’ worth of experience in managerial and supervisory roles for large teams. With these experts at the helm, MB Structured Investments today offers a series of almost 30 structured investment products delivered alongside Barclays Bank PLC. This range covers kick-out plans (named as such due to the possibility of early maturity, or ‘kicking out’, if specific conditions are met), as well as income and deposit plans. These products are coming and going almost on a weekly basis, and with various potential levels available across the portfolio, there is something for any investor to sink their teeth into. Since its first kick-out plan launched at the end of September 2020, MB Structured Investments has offered just shy of 700 total products, underpinning its ever-expanding reach in this space. Further bolstering its impact is the aforementioned Meteor Asset Management, which provides clients with news, insights, and education through resources available on its website. For those looking to get into the diverse and dynamic field of structured products, this advice is invaluable and helps its future clients set off correctly. Ultimately, the combination of clearly defined risk and reward investments provided by MB Structured Investments (UK) Ltd and the educational and news resourced delivered by Meteor Asset Management makes this partnership unrivalled when it comes to results, transparency, and client satisfaction.
