Convertible Bonds

Definition of Convertible Bonds

A convertible bond is a hybrid security that’s initially designed to be a debt instrument that pays a fixed interest rate in exchange for a loan. Once the loan’s tenure ends, the holder can decide to take one of either action:

  • Don’t convert bond: face value of the bond is transferred to the holder on maturity
  • Related Terms

    Fibonacci Retracement

    A Fibonacci Retracement is a predictive technical indicator that is used to determine possible direction or trend reversal of a stock or index’s price with horizontal lines for potential support as well as resistance levels.

    Fibonacci retracement in action

    The logic behind tuning to a Fibonacci Retracement is the assumption that prices will reverse direction towards a previous price-level, especially after a new trend is in motion.

    Equity Delivery

    In equity delivery, shares are delivered to an investor’s Demat account after the settlement period. That’s why it is called equity delivery. However, equity delivery is also known as delivery trading and long term investing.

    For example, let’s say you place an order for 10 HDFC shares on Tuesday with a view of holding onto them for the long term. The trade will be settled on Thursday shortly after which the shares will be delivered to your Demat account.

    Futures

    Futures are derivative contracts that serve as an agreement and obligation between two parties to buy or sell underlying securities at a pre-agreed price and date. Underlying securities in futures can be stocks, bonds, interest rates, currencies, and commodities.

    Direct Public Offerings

    A Direct Public Offering or DPO allows a company to issue shares directly to the public without an intermediary like investment banks. In the process, the company becomes publicly traded.

    The cost of a DPO is known to be relatively low compared to an IPO.

    Furthermore, the issuer of the DPO has control over the issue price while the paperwork and effort involved is also comparatively low. That said, the company must go through proper regulatory procedures during the process.

    At The Money

    At The Money is a scenario in which the strike price of an options contract is the same as the market price of its underlying security.

    Exercising an option At The Money can lead to a loss as the premium paid for the contract won’t be recovered.

    That said, At The Money is known to be a positive indicator as it indicates the option may soon have intrinsic value.

    Intraday Trading

    Intraday trading refers to the buying and selling of financial instruments within the same day. There is no delivery involved in intraday trading as a result. Equity shares are the most popular instrument for intraday day but commodity options and forex futures trading also make it to the list.
