In 2016, Incapital introduced a new suite of Market-Linked Certificate of Deposit educational materials aimed at retail investors.

In addition, the new materials are upfront and transparent about the risks investors may face. Incapital now offers an extensive suite of FINRA-reviewed brochures and videos, covering a range of topics such as Market-Linked CDs, Market-Linked Notes, understanding statement values and protecting principal with FDIC insurance. More resources are on the horizon, demonstrating continuous pursuit of increased investor and advisor education.

Incapital's robust distribution team is focused on building relationships with banks, broker-dealers and institutional investors. For the first time in 2016, five of the firm's partners selected Incapital as their exclusive distributor of Market-Linked Products. These exclusive relationships recognize Incapital's strength in product, istribution, education and technology, along with its dedication to outstanding service.
