RELNs are a type of structured note. Investors may use this structured note when they want to improve returns from their portfolio of stocks when their view of the market is stable or mildly bearish.
If they had a strongly bearish view, they might prefer to sell the stocks outright at the prevailing market price.
RELNs are suitable for investors who have a stable or mildly bearish view of the market. Investors would typically invest in an RELN when the underlying stocks involved are outside the dividend payment period. Otherwise they would lose out on dividends paid during the period their stocks are deposited for the RELN.
RELNs are sophisticated investment products that carry significant risks and are not suitable for investors who do not comprehend the product or are risk averse.
Investors deposit the chosen stocks from their portfolios for the RELN's tenor. The stock's market value at the time the note is issued represents the principal.
The RELN has a strike price, which is at a premium to (or above) the “spot” market price. For example, a 105% “strike” means that the RELN issuer will take ownership of the deposited stock if the “spot” goes above 105% of the initial price. The investor will be paid in cash the principal in addition to an agreed interest amount.
If the “spot” for the deposited stock is at or below the “strike”, the investor receives his deposited shares plus a cash amount representing the interest earned.
