This convertibles business has been consistently recognized in numerous industry surveys including, most recently, the accolade of European Equity Linked House of the Year 2003.
The convertibles business is a prime example of cross-selling incorporating, for example, fixed income, equities, derivatives, swaps and options. Banks use innovation across all those products to differentiate themselves from the rest of the pack. Products traded include convertible bonds, common stock, spot and forward listed futures and options, interest rate futures, government bonds and futures, preference shares, and a range of contracts from bespoke equity options to interest rate and equity swaps, convertible asset swaps and credit default swaps.

The Bank Convertible bonds are typically debt securities that can be converted into shares of a company in lieu of repayment.
Usually it is the company that issues the convertibles. Companies issue convertibles as alternative sources of capital, in addition to traditional debt and ordinary shares. They have structured and significant number of convertibles for a wide range of clients in many different industries.
Recent developments in capital markets have led to the increased use of preference shares as another alternative source of capital. This is just one of the many options that are available to people who are looking to make investements and other forms of capital leveraging using bank convertibles.
Cars and bank convertibes have much similarities as we all know from an investement stand point. The only thing is that cars provide a much worse return on investement because as soon as you buy them a lot of the value is removed from the car. This is true of the value of the car through out the life time of owning it.

Just got a prepaid visa card
By: samp | 26-08-2007
I just got a readydebit prepaid visa card. The fees seem low, do you think it is a good deal? I've seen a few others, but this one seems to be lower cost when i think about how i'll actually use the card. it's $10 to get the card, then $5 a month, plus a fee for atm withdrawals. Paying for an account might seem crazy, but compared to what banks are charging for overdraft fees, it might work out to cost less. Anyway, i'm curious, what do you think - good deal or not? the website is readydebit.com.
