The objective of these packets is to lure in investors. The high risk clients were also those willing to procure the following: Interest rate linked notes where floating interest rates could be exchanged for fixed interest rates and vice versa. Equity linked notes - where investors could capitalize the price movement of underlying stocks. Foreign exchange and commodity linked notes -where investors could capitalize on the fluctuating cost of underlying currencies or commodities (e.g. gold, silver, sugar and oil). Hybrid linked notes -where the investor could combine a number of instruments. Credit linked notes 2) Who do PEPs pose a threat to?
