Common use of Warrants Clause in Contracts

Warrants. A warrant is a time-limited right to subscribe for shares, debentures, loan stock or government securities, and is exercisable against the original issuer of the securities. Warrants often involve a high degree of gearing, so that a relatively small movement in the price of the underlying security results in a disproportionately large movement, favourable or unfavourable in the price of the warrant. The prices of warrants can therefore be volatile. The Investment Adviser should not include warrants in the Investment Guidelines unless the Investment Adviser is prepared for a Portfolio to sustain a total loss of the money the Investment Adviser has invested plus any commission or other transaction charges. Some other instruments are also called warrants but are actually options (for example, a right to acquire securities which is exercisable against someone other than the original issuer of the securities, often called a “covered warrant”). If the Investment Adviser is considering including warrants in the Investment Guidelines, it is essential to understand that the right to subscribe which a warrant confers is invariably limited in time. Therefore, if the Investment Adviser fails to exercise this right within the pre-determined time scale, the investment becomes worthless.
