Q: In most of the offerings of Bank Structured Note offerings, this line appears..

The Bank may benefit from the difference between the amount it is obligated to pay under the Notes, net of related expenses, and the returns it may generate in hedging such obligations.

I believe this implies that any options,dollar hedges,derivatives ,futures, EFT'S or derivatives thereof,long and shorts positions of any of these...that the bank would most likely be the other side of any trades within these notes.

Question...It seems that the bank can and will dictate the outcome of these risky things thru related expenses.(.ie the bank deals the cards then plays the hand) ...is the deck not stacked against the retail investor of such so called investment instruments?

Q: Hello Peter,
I own all three. After the spinoff, I will have Brookfield Corp (that will own parts of all three, BEP, BIP, and BAM) and BAM (the asset manager). In this scenario, will BAM be direct competitor to Blackstone? Also, how is the spinoff different from the Trisura one? Lastly, the performance of BEP has not been that great so should i move on or just stick with all four for long term hold? Thanks very much
