Dear All, How can an individual invest in convertible bonds/zero-coupon convertibles/convertible preferred stocks/mandatory convertible preferred? I don't find any data on those products online. All insights provided will be greatly appreciated. Cordially, P.S: I put this thread in the option forum because of the option element implied in convertibles. I did not see elsewhere to place this thread.
I don't know how complete it is or if it is what you are seeking but QuantumOnline offers lists of various types of stocks including traditional and mandatory convertible securities. Give it a look and find out http://www.quantumonline.com/mandconvtable.cfm?SortColumn=Company&SortOrder=ASC
The links are indeed interesting, but I don't think they provide the greeks of a convertible position. So, I guess my next question is: can an individual engage in convertible arbitrage or are there barriers of entry that impeach the individual investor to engage in such a market neutral strategy? I will probably have to open a new threat on this. Thanks for all your replies.
