Discover Structured Products from Arta

Custom-built strategies + contractual guarantees

โ€‹Arta Financeโ€‹ is a digital wealth platform offering access to sophisticated financial strategies.

โ€‹Structured Productsโ€‹ are custom-built strategies to unlock unique risk-reward.

Each one is custom-designed for todayโ€™s market environment. Arta runs competitive auctions among large investment banks to get the best possible terms for investors.

A key advantage of structured products? Returns are contracted based on market outcomes โ€” if the assets perform as you expect them to, you're contractually guaranteed the outcomes described for that offering.

๐Ÿ‘‰ Real-world example: Rally Dec 2024

In December, Arta created a structured note designed for investors bullish on both Microsoft and Google:

  • 1-Year Fixed Return: If both stocks are up, receive a 17.7% fixed return and principal back.

  • 3-Year Leverage: If extended, earn 200% upside exposure on the lower-performing stock.

  • Downside Protection: If stocks are down after 3 years, enjoy 20% principal protection against losses.

  • Minimum Investment: $25,000

  • Annual Fee: 0.50%

Next week, Arta will be releasing another structured note with equally exciting features, so join now to participate.

๐ŸŽฏ Who is this for?

  • Accredited investors looking for enhanced returns. (You do not need to be located in the US)

  • Those looking for principal protection buffers.

  • Individuals comfortable with a horizon of 1โ€“3 years.

  • Those ready to diversify into sophisticated financial instruments with clarity and confidence.

Arta provides sophisticated, institutional-grade precision that is tough to replicate elsewhere
