V.The Advantages of Inline Warrants

1) Create positive returns even in sideway markets
Traditional Warrants and CBBC are hard to achieve profits in sideway markets since investors might take incorrect directional view when there is no trend in the market. Holders of Derivative Warrants are facing the risk of losing time value and declining implied volatility while holders of CBBC are facing the knockout risk. Therefore, Derivative Warrants and CBBC are less favourable in sideway market due to the complexity of risk control.
Contrary to traditional long or short instruments, Inline Warrants allow investors to obtain a positive return if the price of underlying asset remains within a predefined interval, therefore complement the traditional warrants and CBBC. Inline Warrants has no knockout mechanism. Also, Inline Warrants gain time value when the underlying price is in the range. Investors can invest in an appropriate Inline Warrants under a sideway market and switch to traditional warrants or CBBC when “breakthrough’ is begun.

2) Suitable for Medium term investment
Due to absent of knockout mechanism and feature of gaining time value, the holders of in-the-range Inline Warrants have higher tolerance to short-term fluctuations on the price of underlying asset. The payoff at maturity would not be affected by the short-term fluctuations as long as the price of underlying asset bound back into the range at the expiry.

3) Fixed and transparent payoff
Since there is a fixed price range (HK$0.25 – HK$1.00), the fluctuation on the price of Inline Warrants is relatively narrow. Also, the expected return is easier to be estimated and hence investor could make investment decision (such as deciding the investment amount, stop loss, profit taking etc.) effectively.

4) Other advantages
Like other derivatives products, Inline Warrants has leverage effect, so it has the advantages of saving the principal and amplifying the return. However, it should be noted that the potential loss will also be amplified by leverage effect. Investors should be careful about risk control. Stamp duty is exempt in the transaction of Inline Warrants. Inline Warrants has no margin feature as well as margin call mechanism.
