A principal-protected note is a structured product typically issued by a financial institution such as a bank. The payoffs from such a note are more complex than those for a "vanilla" fixed-income product. A principal-protected note can be thought of as combining the payoffs of a zero-coupon bond with that of a call option. The exact type of call option (e.g., Vanilla, Asian, Binary) can vary but the investor should be assured of getting back his or her principal at maturity because the zerocoupon bond component of the product matures at the maturity of the note. It is in this way that the notes are said to be "principal protected."
