This article is about a financial instrument. For the payment method, see\u00a0warrant of payment<\/a>.<\/div>\n

Warrants and\u00a0options<\/a>\u00a0are similar in that the two contractual financial instruments allow the holder special rights to buy securities. Both are discretionary and have expiration dates. The word warrant simply means to “endow with the right”, which is only slightly different from the meaning of option.In\u00a0finance<\/a>, a\u00a0warrant<\/b>\u00a0is a\u00a0security<\/a>\u00a0that entitles the holder to buy the underlying stock of the issuing company at a fixed price called\u00a0exercise price<\/b>\u00a0until the expiry date.<\/div>\n

Warrants are frequently attached to\u00a0bonds<\/a>\u00a0or\u00a0preferred stock<\/a>\u00a0as a sweetener, allowing the issuer to pay lower interest rates or dividends. They can be used to enhance the\u00a0yield<\/a>\u00a0of the bond and make them more attractive to potential buyers. Warrants can also be used in\u00a0private equity<\/a>deals. Frequently, these warrants are detachable and can be sold independently of the bond or stock.<\/p>\n

In the case of warrants issued with preferred stocks, stockholders may need to detach and sell the warrant before they can receive dividend payments. Thus, it is sometimes beneficial to detach and sell a warrant as soon as possible so the investor can earn dividends.<\/p>\n

Warrants are actively traded in some financial markets such as German Stock Exchange (Deutsche B\u00f6rse<\/a>) and Hong Kong.[1]<\/a><\/sup>\u00a0In Hong Kong Stock Exchange, warrants accounted for 11.7% of the turnover in the first quarter of 2009, just second to the\u00a0callable bull\/bear contract<\/a>.[2]<\/a><\/sup><\/p>\n
