Exchangeable Instrument

   Also found in: Dictionary/thesaurus, Wikipedia 0.01 sec.
Exchangeable instrument
Applies mainly to convertible securities. Bond or preferred stock that may be exchangeable into the common stock of a different public corporation.

Convertible Security
A bond or preferred stock that may be exchanged for common stock in the company issuing the exchangeable security at a certain ratio and/or a certain price. A convertible security gives the holder a great deal of flexibility. It reduces risk by guaranteeing a coupon payment or dividend while also allowing the holder to take advantage of a potentially larger return through the ability to convert the security to common stock. It is less commonly called an exchangeable security. See also: Convertible Option.
