Learn MoreWhy Consider Structured Warrants?
Leverage with lighter initial capital
With a lower notional entry point than the underlying stock, call warrants can help traders manage short-term opportunities more compactly.
How Do Structured Warrants Work?
The underlying stock rises
If the underlying stock climbs toward or through the relevant exercise level, the value of a call warrant generally becomes more attractive.
Leverage increases sensitivity
Small price changes in the underlying stock can have a bigger effect on the warrant, increasing both opportunity and risk.
Structured Warrant Types and How They Work
Call Warrant
A call warrant provides exposure to potential upside in the underlying stock. It is generally considered when an investor has a bullish market view and wants to respond more tactically to upward price movement.
Put Warrant
A put warrant is designed for scenarios where the underlying stock may move lower. It can be considered when an investor sees downside risk or wants to complement a short-term defensive view.

Structured warrants are more sensitive to changes in the underlying stock. Because of that, position sizing should always match your risk budget.
Leverage amplifies both potential and risk
Any structured warrant decision should be tied directly to the direction, momentum, and volatility of the underlying stock.
The underlying stock stays at the center
Beyond the underlying move, warrants are also influenced by volatility, time, and the leverage profile of the instrument.
Price sensitivity depends on more than direction
The closer the expiry date, the less room there is to wait for a market scenario. Exit discipline becomes even more important.
