ABOUT US

StructuredNotes.com is a dedicated resource within Claro Advisors focused on helping investors achieve enhanced income and growth with built-in protection. Structured notes are a specialty of oursinnovative investment solutions designed to deliver defined outcomes in today's challenging markets.

Our Story

Our Story

We launched StructuredNotes.com within Claro Advisors in response to a message we heard repeatedly from investors:


“I want to protect my principal — and I still want to make money.”


While simple in theory, traditional investment approaches often failed to deliver both. Fixed income frequently fell short of expectations, and market volatility led many investors into costly, emotional decisions.

Drawing on the collective decades of experience of the advisors at Claro Advisors, we identified a clear gap between what investors wanted and what most investment solutions were designed to provide. Structured notes — particularly market-linked income notes — help bridge that gap by offering defined risk, defined outcomes, and the potential for meaningful income with a focus on principal protection.

We built StructuredNotes.com to make this strategy clearer, more accessible, and more thoughtfully implemented. By putting protection first and designing return potential with intention, we help investors reduce stress, avoid costly mistakes, and move toward a more secure, predictable retirement.
