Step 1: Select underlying asset
Choose an asset that aligns with your business's financial strategy. StructuringDesk currently supports a variety of assets including crypto-assets like Bitcoin (BTC) and Ether (ETH).
Step 2: Define your market view
Your market view is your business's forecast about the price direction of the chosen underlying asset. For instance, if your analysis predicts an increase in the price of Bitcoin, then your stance is bullish.
Other than bullish or bearish, the price movement of an asset can also be sideways when it fluctuates within a certain range (also known as crab market).
If your business's strategy can profit from both upward and downward movements of the underlying asset, then choose unsure.
When a business invests in an asset, it indicates a bullish stance, meaning there is an expectation for the price to rise. Traditionally, purchasing the asset is the primary means to gain exposure to its risk and return.
However, prices can also fall (bearish) or remain stable (sideways). Professional investors utilize strategies to capitalize on all market movements.
On StructuringDesk, each market direction corresponds to a market view:
| Direction | Market View on StructuringDesk |
|---|---|
| Up | Bullish |
| Down | Bearish |
| Not Up or Down | Sideways |
| Up or Down | Unsure |
Step 3: Select time period
The time period sets the duration for which your business's market view will apply, culminating on the maturity date of the structured product.
For example, your business could have a bullish view for one month or three months.
Step 4: (Optional) Specify price targets
Businesses can specify price targets for the underlying asset for the chosen time period.
For instance: If your analysis suggests that ETH will surpass $2,000 but remain below $3,000, you can set these as your price targets.
Setting precise price targets can enhance the maximum payout per dollar if these targets are reached.
If you're uncertain, choose Unsure (recommend a price). StructuringDesk's algorithms will then provide a product recommendation optimized for maximum return and the likelihood of hitting that target.
Step 5: Product recommendation
After steps 1-4, StructuringDesk's advanced structuring engine will process extensive market data to recommend a structured financial product that best suits your business's investment criteria.
