Convertible bonds have the characteristics of both bonds and stocks, and have the following three characteristics: 1 Like other bonds, convertible bonds also have stipulated interest rates and maturities. Investors can choose to hold bonds and collect principal and interest at maturity. 2. Equity convertible bonds are pure bonds before the conversion, but after the conversion, the original bondholders change from bondholders to shareholders of the company, and can participate in the company's business decisions and dividend distribution, which will also affect the company's share capital structure to a certain extent. 3. Convertibility Convertibility is an important symbol of convertible bonds, and bondholders can convert bonds into stocks according to agreed conditions. Converting shares is an option that investors enjoy but ordinary bonds do not. Convertible bonds are clearly stipulated at the time of issuance, and bondholders can convert bonds into common shares of the company at the price agreed at the time of issuance. If the bondholders do not want to convert shares, they can continue to hold the bonds until the repayment period expires to collect the principal and interest, or they can be sold and realized in the circulation market. If the holder is optimistic about the appreciation potential of the issuing company's shares, he may exercise the right to convert the bonds into shares at a predetermined conversion price after the grace period, and the issuing company shall not refuse. Because of its convertibility, the interest rate of convertible bonds is generally lower than that of ordinary corporate bonds, and issuing convertible bonds by enterprises can reduce financing costs. The holder of convertible bonds also has the right to sell the bonds back to the issuer under certain conditions, and the issuer also has the right to redeem the bonds under certain conditions. Convertible bonds have the dual characteristics of bonds and stocks, which are attractive to both enterprises and investors. 1996 the government of China decided to select qualified companies to carry out the pilot project of convertible bonds. 1997, the Interim Measures for the Administration of Convertible Corporate Bonds was issued, and in April 20001,the China Securities Regulatory Commission issued the Implementation Measures for the Issuance of Convertible Corporate Bonds by Listed Companies, which greatly standardized and promoted the development of convertible bonds. Convertible bonds have the characteristics of double options. On the one hand, investors can choose whether to convert shares and bear the opportunity cost of lower interest rate of convertible bonds; On the other hand, the issuer of convertible bonds has the right to choose whether to implement the redemption clause, so it has to pay a higher interest rate than convertible bonds without redemption clause. Double option is the most important financial feature of convertible corporate bonds, which limits the risks and returns of investors and issuers to a certain range and can be used to hedge stocks and obtain more certain returns. To sum up, the qualification examination of corporate bond underwriters is strict. For those who want to gain something in the bond market, it is difficult to be a good bond underwriter, but there is no way at all. As long as they want to make a difference in this field, they can all obtain qualifications under the legal premise. But the risk of operating bonds should not be underestimated, just as the saying in the stock market says, the stock market is risky, investment needs to be cautious, and bonds are equally suitable.
