Has anybody invested in PPNs? Pros and Cons?

Thanks,

They can be attractive, but read the fine print. Generally you give up significant upside in return for the downside protection, and sometimes these have really funky structures.

I am a fan of these and other specialty term investments, but as Brewer said read the fine print.
