Convertible Bond Quotes

Find convertible bond listings for the broker and corporate investor

A convertible bond yields lower returns than the normal bond. The return reflects the fact that the company allows the customer to convert the bond into a specific number of shares. The convertible bond offers a fixed stock price and often reflects a much higher price than the market.

Convertible bonds are far less risky when used to manage portfolio risk than alternatives like the hedge fund. Unlike traditional bonds, the price goes up if the market rises. If the market drops interest rates usually do too and the interest return becomes important. They also bring in substantial gains if traded for that purpose. The use of quotes for convertible securities makes the trading easier.

You can:
  1. Find convertible bond information either online or through special information created specifically for brokers.
  2. Compare the convertible bond yield to others from similar companies with the same potential growth.
  3. Sell early and take a capital gain with convertible bond quotes, if the market is conducive.

There are varieties of companies that give free quotes for your convertible bond. Many times traditional market quotes don't include updated information on the bonds, so it is important to find one that services that need. Online brokerage accounts often supply the needed information when you have an account with them.

Use a convertible bond quoting service that allows you to compare

In order to choose the best convertible bond for your client or your own brokerage account use a service that not only gives quotes but offers opportunities to compare it to other companies.
