Structured warrants are proprietary instruments issued by a third-party issuer, namely an eligible broker or financial institution that give holders the right, but not the obligation, to buy or sell the underlying instrument in the future for a fixed price. Essentially, you are making a 'reservation' to buy or sell a pre-determined number of the underlying instrument at a certain price in the future when you invest in a structured warrant.
Types of Structured Warrants
Call Warrants
Gives holder right to buy the underlying share at a specified price within a limited period of time.
Put Warrants
Gives holder right to sell the underlying share at a specified price within a limited period of time.
Callable Bull/Bear Certificates (CBBC)
CBBC tracks the performance of an underlying stock without requiring investors to pay the full price required to own the actual stock. They are issued either as Bull or Bear certificates with a fixed expiry date, allowing investors to take bullish or bearish positions on the underlying stock with the possibility of an early termination before the expiry date when the underlying moves in contrary direction to investors' expectations.
