CHICAGO, Jan. 20, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- Halo Investing ("Halo"), an award-winning platform for protective investments, today announced a new structured notes offering tied to Morningstar® Wide Moat Focus index℠, a widely-used index focused on U.S. companies that Morningstar recognizes to have sustainable competitive advantages or "economic moats." The new structured notes enable financial advisors to have equity exposure to the Morningstar Wide Moat Focus Index with the added benefit of downside protection.

"Adding structured notes linked to the Morningstar Wide Moat Focus Index gives investors a powerful new option to anchor their long-term investment strategies," said Jason Barsema, Co-Founder & President of Halo. "Halo has lower investment minimums, transparent pricing, and documents the full client reporting process, making it easier for financial advisors to add structured notes to their portfolios. By expanding our structured notes lineup and adding elements of Morningstar's respected research to Halo, we are helping financial advisors meet their clients' savings and retirement goals."
