Question asked 27/06/2025

Warrants

Hi Guys, Thanks so much for your continuing constructive & informative responses to our queries. So I have a question on warrants which used to be an important part of investment plans but seem to be left behind in recent years. Therefore, could you remind me of how warrants work, and whether they could have a place in a Growth portfolio. In what circumstances are they useful and do you have any recommendations? Many thanks Glenn
