US Wrap: Reverse convertible bets on derivative stock

Barclays Bank has launched a new reverse convertible linked to the stock of InterContinental Exchange, which operates online trading for over-the-counter derivative products. The note lasts six months and pays a 17.25% annualised coupon, with a stock barrier of 80%.

The launch was one of five new products issued into the market at the close of last week, all reverse convertible notes. ABN Amro unveiled a single note linked to Diamond Offshore Drilling, while Barclays was responsible for the rest of the offerings.
