Inhaltsangabe:Introduction:
In 1985 Thomas Zwirner of HSBC Trinkaus invented the Discount Certificate by copying an investment strategy of professional investors.
Now there are over 100,000 certificates traded on the European Warrant Exchange (EUWAX). About 80% are discount certificates. Many Banks promote discount certificates as a safer and more profitable investment than a direct investment in stocks. However, when Lehman Brothers has filed bankruptcy in 2008 many investors lost their money invested in Lehman certificates. Investors may now ask themselves the question if certificates and especially discount certificates are a true alternative to a stock investment.
The following work will answer this question. It is structured as follows: Chapter 2 describes basic information about discount certificates; it also provides information on the markets for discount certificates. Chapter 3 will identify and evaluate the risks and opportunities of a direct stock investment and a investment in discount certifi-cates. Chapter 4 evaluates the behavior of discount certificates and stocks in differ-ent market scenarios by using a fictive example.
In chapter 5 possible strategies for an investment in discount certificates are given by the author and evaluated on their risk and opportunities, while chapter 6 concludes.
Since there are many different types of discount certificates, this work will focus on the discount certificates with an underlying of one share of the respective company. Inhaltsverzeichnis:Table of Contents:
