  • Complex Instruments Appropriateness Test - The Markets in Financial Instruments Directive's appropriateness requirements apply where firms sell products without advice. Defining a product as 'complex' means firms selling these products without advice will need to assess whether a potential purchaser has the necessary experience and knowledge to understand the product they wish to purchase - this is the 'appropriateness test'.

    Understanding Complex Instruments

    Buying investment products such as shares, investment trusts and exchange-traded funds (ETFs) is a simple and quick process in the majority of cases, however if a more 'complex' product is what you are looking to purchase, we need to confirm that you understand the product you are looking to purchase.

    A 'complex' product is a financial instrument that may be difficult to understand because of its structure or features. Often, they will have different risks associated with them compared to what you would find when investing in equities. Because of this, they may not be suitable for all investors.

    Investing in complex instruments can involve additional risks, these may not always be obvious or easy to understand. Some of the risks associated with complex instruments may include;


    • Market risk- this is the risk of losses due to movements in market prices. Complex instruments may invest in many underlying markets, therefore leaving you exposed to more market risks.
    • Leverage risk- some complex instruments will use leverage, which are financial strategies to multiply potential gains or losses, like using derivatives. The use of leverage can potentially result in higher losses.
    • Liquidity risk- some complex products may be illiquid, which means it may be difficult to sell the instruments quickly or easily.

    A couple of examples of instruments which may be deemed complex are listed below;

    Instrument Type
    Index-Linked Debt An index-linked bond is a bond in which payment of interest income on the principle is related to a specific price index, usually the Consumer Price Index.
    Subscription Shares Newly issues securities that an investor has agreed or stated their intent to buy prior to the issue date. When investors use rights, they expect to own the designated number of shares to which they have subscribed once the offering is complete.
    Exchange Traded Funds One type of complex ETF is a leveraged ETF. While a typical exchange-traded fund (ETF) aims to track the returns of a sector, market or index, a leveraged ETF aims to match and then amplify those returns. Basically, they use complex financial techniques to try and increase the potential return of the investment. Bear in mind, this means the potential losses of the investment are also amplified. That's what makes leveraged ETFs more volatile, risker and complex.

    If you would like to invest in a complex Instrument, you will need to complete and return a Complex Instrument Appropriateness Test. Please click here to download the form.
