Options
Options are suitable for experienced investors looking for more sophisticated investment alternatives. They can offer a powerful and flexible tool that can be used to enhance a portfolio in a number of ways:
- Profit from a view, no matter whether the market is moving up, down or sideways
- Access the underlying stock for a fraction of the cost of a direct investment
- Earn extra income from a portfolio by writing Options and receiving a premium
- Protect (or ‘hedge’) existing investments by guaranteeing the sale price, regardless of market movements
Options strategies range from the simple to the complex and can be tailored to suit investment goals and appetite for risk. Like any derivative product, Options can involve risk, and all investors and advisers must have a clear understanding of this before trading.
To trade Options on behalf of your clients:
- Download and read the ASX Booklet Understanding Options Trading (PDF)
- Download, read, complete and sign the "Exchange Traded Options Product Disclosure Statement (PDS) and Application" located under the Forms tab above
- To take up Tier 2 Options trading you will need to complete the ”Trading Level Upgrade” form found within the “Exchange Traded Options Application PDS and Application” or located under the Forms tab above.
Warrants
Warrants are unique trading instruments that are issued by banks and other institutions and traded on the ASX and Chi-X. Warrants are 'non-standard' - in other words, each one is different and will offer different features. Depending on the features of the individual warrant, you can use them to:
- Gain leveraged exposure to an underlying share
- Diversify your portfolio
- Generate income through dividends and franking credits
- Protect your portfolio
You need to read the Product Disclosure Statement provided by the issuer of a warrant to assess its features and whether it meets your trading and investment purposes, before you decide to invest.
To start trading Warrants on behalf of your clients:
IPOs
IPOs through CommSec Adviser Services provide the opportunity to get priority access and provide a value add for clients. Access IPOs for your clients and subscribe to alerts, so you’ll know about new offers as soon as they're available.
