Equity options
Options can be used in a number of ways:
-
Provide protection for your share
portfolio.
-
Opportunity for profit by taking a
particular view on a stock's direction.
-
Potential for income by writing covered
calls; and
-
Providing leverage in volatile
markets.
Futures and options can have high levels of risks associated
with them and you need to understand those risks as well as
the benefits. Only derivative accredited Advisers can give advice
on futures and options. These experienced Advisers can explain the
risks and benefits of using derivatives as part of your investment
strategy.

Issued by financial institutions and traded on the ASX, warrants
can be used for both trading and investment. Each warrant is
unique, with its own features and risks, so it's important to
have the right advice before you invest.
Bell Potter's experienced and accredited Advisers can help you
understand the features of different warrants and the risks and
benefits of including them as part of your investment strategy.

Instalment warrants |
-
These can be used to gain leveraged exposure
to shares, baskets of shares or listed managed investments
- such as exchange traded funds (ETFs) - by making a part
payment upfront and delaying an optional final payment until a
later date. This allows you to buy shares for a portion of the
current share price while receiving the benefits of potential
capital growth, dividends and franking credits.
|
|
Self-funding instalment warrants |
- Longer-term warrants, where dividends are used to reduce the
final payment for the underlying shares.
