- ADR/ADS (American Depositary Receipts/Shares)
An American Depository Receipt (ADR) is a receipt for the shares of a foreign-based corporation held in a U.S. bank. The holder of the receipt is entitled to all dividends and capital gains for the security. ADRs give U.S. investors a way to buy shares of foreign-based companies in the U.S., rather than having to trade on an overseas market. Also known as American Depository Shares, ADRs trade on U.S. exchanges and are available for hundreds of stocks from numerous countries.
- Bond/Debenture
A debt instrument issued for a period of more than one year with the purpose of raising capital by borrowing. A bond is generally a promise to repay the principal along with interest on a specified date (maturity).

- Call Option
A call option gives the owner of the option the right to buy a particular security (called the underlying security) at a specific price (the exercise or strike price) over a specific time period or at a specific time in the future up to the expiration date. The price paid for a call option is the call premium.
A call option is "in the money" when the price of the underlying security is above the strike price, since the call option owner can exercise the option to buy the security at a below-market price. A call option is "out of the money" when the price of the underlying security is below the strike price, there is no value in exercising the option. A call option is "at the money" when the price of the underlying security is the same as the strike price.

- Convertible Bond
A convertible bond is corporate bond which can be exchanged (converted) for shares of common or preferred stock at a specified share-per-bond ratio; the ratio depends on the stock price at the time of the conversion. Usually, the stock is that of the issuer of the bond, but convertible bonds have been used as a way for companies to monetize their minority stock holdings in other companies by issuing bonds convertible into their stock holdings. The interest rate on a convertible bond is generally much lower than that of a similar maturity non-convertible bond in order to pay for the conversion option held by the investor.
