Regulated Financial Products are investment vehicles or services that operate under the oversight and rules of governmental financial authorities. These products are subject to specific legal requirements regarding their structure, marketing, and distribution to protect investors and maintain market integrity. Examples include exchange-traded funds, mutual funds, and certain derivatives.
