Open up the tools of professional investing with Covered Warrants.


Before trading you should fully understand the nature of covered warrants and your exposure to the risk involved.

The geared nature of covered warrants means that a relatively small movement in the share price of the underlying asset will result in larger movements in the value of the warrant. Therefore, covered warrants provide the opportunity for greater returns than ordinary share dealing but also greater risks and potential losses. If you are in any doubt you should consult an Independent Financial Advisor.
