An exchangeable security, tradable on a securities exchange is issued at a
share price that is a discount from the share price of an underlying
security or basket of underlying securities. At or prior to maturity of
the exchangeable security, a holder of the exchangeable security may
exchange a share of the exchangeable security for a share of the
underlying security or basket of underlying securities. The exchangeable
security may also include a linked payment that is redeemable for the
full amount of the payment on maturity of the exchangeable security.
Alternatively, the exchangeable security may be issued at the share price
of the underlying security with the linked payment. The invention
provides methods for issue, trade and redemption as well as systems for
issue, trade and redemption of the security.
