Tips for comparing warrants brokers
Warrants sound tricky, but they’re really like buying shares on lay-buy. You pay half now and half later. Most online share brokers offer warrants in their suite of products because warrants are bought and sold online just like shares, except that they sport a six letter stock code rather than a three letter code for shares.
Warrants come in a variety of styles that typically relate to the timeframe of investment; long-term investing style warrants such as instalment and endowment warrants offer terms up to 10 years. Short-term trading warrants (calls and puts) and leveraged knock-out warrants are for the more active or aggressive trader. And if you're serious about warrants, you may even want to consider a specialist warrants broker - someone who focusses solely on this instrument.
The third tab compares warrant issuers. Think of buying a warrant from an issuer like buying a stock at its float. In both instances you are purchasing in the primary market, which involves filling out a prospectus and paying by cheque or eftpos. If you wish to sell the warrant later down the track, then you simply sell it on the ASX just like an ordinary share. It's that easy.
