Kurzbeschreibung
Hybrid instruments are bonds or stocks with a fixed-rate of interest or dividend that can be traded on the open stock market for shares. Redemption on the stock market in the form of shares at a price usually significantly higher than the purchase price of the original bond is the hoped-for bonus of hybrids that have made them an attractive instrument for investors and banks alike. Investors view them as sure moneymakers. And both the equity desk and fixed-income desks at a bank can profit from a hybrid. In the first comprehensive technical look at hybrids, Handbook of Hybrid Instruments provides investors with the analytical tools and techniques needed to learn about, and profit from, these fascinating financial instruments.
