This video provides a basic introduction to the terminology and structure of these often misunderstood securities. The presentation describes how reverse convertibles belong in the category of structured notes (debt instruments whose returns are a function of an embedded derivative) known as enhanced yield structured notes. The source of the high coupon rate and the type of embedded option (knock-in put) that results in the complexity of the securities are discussed. The similarities and differences with regular convertible bonds are also covered.
