Most often the product relies on the use of derivatives to generate the return, and contains downside protection or guarantees of some form via options.

The most recent US crisis appears to fit the more general pattern that the recovery process from severe financial crisis is more protracted than from a normal recession or from milder forms of financial distress. There is certainly little evidence to suggest that this time was worse. Of course this does not mean policy is irrelevant.
