Warrants: are option-type securities that first appeared in Switzerland in 1985 with the sophistication of financial instruments. They offer rights to buy or sell various underlying assets (currencies, indices, interest rates, equities, etc.) at a fixed exercise price up until a date specified (maturity). In contrast to share warrants issued by the companies and options traded on a regulated market (such as Monep), the warrant is created by a financial institution who ensures the distribution and the quotation, most often as part of a contract to provide a market. The financial institution must therefore have a significant financial backing.
There are two types of warrant. They are the call warrant that confers the right to buy the underlying asset (and therefore to bet on the increase) and the put warrant that confers the right to sell. Unlike an option, the investor does not have the right to short sell a warrant.
