What Does Detachable Warrant Mean?
A derivative that is attached to a security and gives the holder the

a certain time frame. A detachable warrant is often combined
with various forms of debt offerings and can be removed by the
holder and sold in the secondary market separately.
Detachable Warrant
Many companies choose detachable warrants when issuing
bonds because it makes a debt offering more attractive and can
be an effective method of raising new capital. The exposure to
the right given by the detachable warrant can often gain the
attention of investors who do not usually participate in the fixedincome markets.
A detachable warrant can be traded independently of the
package with which it was offered, and is similar to a call option.
