Abstract

We examine the optimal design of financial structured portfolios (equity or index linked notes) within the rank dependent utility framework. We illustrate how these products can be in accordance to investor's attitude towards risk, whereas, for the standard expected utility case, they do not match investor's preferences. These financial products usually involve derivative instruments which allow investors to benefit from capital protection and minimal participation when markets are bullish.
