Convertible securities are hybrid financial instruments that start as bonds or preferred stocks but can be converted into a predetermined number of the issuer's shares. This effectively gives investors the opportunity to benefit from potential equity gains while also offering a fixed income component, making them attractive for those looking for growth plus income.
Preferred stocks represent ownership in a company but typically do not come with the same voting rights as common stocks. However, they offer a fixed dividend, which is usually higher than what common stocks pay, and have priority over common stocks in the event of a liquidation. This makes preferred stocks an appealing option for income-focused investors.
