Turbo warrants explained in Layman's terms.
Knock Out Options, sometimes called Turbo warrants, are simple financial products. Easy to understand, easy to trade.
I - Knock Out Options are....Options
As for any option, Knock Out Options are asymetrical instruments.
- For a small stake, they enable to earn lots of money
- They are traded on financial markets by institutions and traders
- It's easy to find a bid-ask spread
II - An added feature : the barrier
As far as the underlying doesn't hit the barrier (a spot level defined before the trade), the knock out options seems to be a vanilla option.
If the underlying hit the barrier, the option blow out : its worth becomes zero.
III - A price much lower as for the vanilla
Because the barrier could be hit, a knock out option is worth a lower price. Thus a better yield if the barrier is not crossed.
