HYBRID-BASED INSTRUMENTS
Hybrid securities are unique financial instruments that blend attributes of debt and equity. They incorporate features from traditional debt instruments, like bonds, along with characteristics found in equity securities, such as stocks. It's worth highlighting that the specific nature and terms of hybrid securities can differ widely based on their individual type and structure. Therefore, investors must diligently assess the terms, risks, and potential returns associated with each hybrid security before making any investment choices. Here are some fundamental characteristics of hybrid securities:

Combination of Debt and Equity
Hybrid securities combine debt and equity features, offering investors a unique opportunity. They have debt-like aspects like interest payments and maturity, as well as equity-like traits like conversion or profit-sharing potential.

​Diversified Risk and Return Profile
Hybrid securities offer risk diversification and potential returns. Investors gain stability and regular income from debt aspects while participating in the growth and upside potential of the investment.

Flexibility and Customisation
Hybrid securities offer flexible design and structure, allowing tailored features to meet financing needs and attract investors, creating innovative financial products for both issuers and investors.

Variations in Conversion or Call Features
Hybrid securities may include conversion features for investors to convert holdings into shares at a set price or ratio. Some hybrids have call features allowing early redemption by the issuer under certain conditions.

Income Generation and Capital Appreciation
Depending on the specific features of the hybrid security, investors can receive regular income through interest payments or dividend distributions, as well as benefit from potential capital appreciation if the security includes equity-like features.
