EQUITY-BASED INSTRUMENTS

At FPCT, we specialise in consulting and training services for equity-based instruments, which are financial products derived from a company's stock. These instruments include various types such as stocks, options, warrants, convertible bonds, convertible preferred stock, and American Depositary Receipts (ADRs). Our comprehensive services aim to help clients understand the intricacies of these instruments and effectively utilise them to optimize returns.

Common Stock

Common stock represents the basic ownership interest in a company. Shareholders of common stock have voting rights in corporate decisions and may receive dividends if the company distributes profits. They also have the potential to benefit from capital appreciation if the company's stock price increases.

Preferred Stock

Preferred stock represents a class of stock that typically offers preferential treatment over common stock. Preferred shareholders have a fixed dividend rate and priority in receiving dividends before common shareholders. They usually do not have voting rights but may have other rights, such as priority in the event of liquidation.

Exchange-Traded Funds (ETFs)

ETFs are investment funds that trade on stock exchanges. They represent a basket of securities, such as stocks, bonds, or commodities, and offer investors exposure to a diversified portfolio of assets. ETF shares can be bought and sold like stocks, providing investors with flexibility and liquidity.

Real Estate Investment Trusts (REITs)

REITs are companies that own and manage income-generating real estate properties. By investing in REITs, individuals can gain exposure to the real estate market without directly owning properties. REITs typically distribute a significant portion of their earnings to shareholders in the form of dividends.

American Depositary Receipts (ADRs)

ADRs are equity-based instruments that represent shares of foreign companies trading on U.S. stock exchanges. They allow U.S. investors to invest in foreign companies without directly buying the underlying foreign stocks. ADRs are denominated in U.S. dollars and follow the trading and dividend practices of U.S. securities.

Convertible Securities

Convertible securities are financial instruments, such as convertible bonds or preferred stock, that can be converted into a predetermined number of common shares of the issuing company. They offer investors the potential for capital appreciation if the company's stock price rises while providing downside protection through their fixed-income features.

Warrants

Warrants are derivative instruments that give the holder the right to buy a specific number of shares of a company's stock at a predetermined price within a specified period. Warrants are often issued alongside other securities to enhance their marketability or as a way to raise additional capital.

Stock Options

Stock options are contractual rights that give individuals the opportunity to buy (call option) or sell (put option) a specific number of shares of a company's stock at a predetermined price within a specified period. Stock options are commonly used as part of employee compensation packages or by investors engaging in options trading strategies.
