Equity-Linked Savings—Part II

Abstract

In the previous article of the Journal, the author shows how equity-linked savings products are designed to attract investors who would like to invest in equity but do not have enough cash available yet to do so. It also illustrates that it is possible for the equity-linked savings product providers to make a huge up-front profit on selling a small number of ordinary call options back-to-back. In Part II of this article, the author shows that there are such products offered to retail investors.
