With volatility up, skip reverse convertibles and think digital, says portfolio manager
By Emma Trincal New York, Aug. 9 The recent record gains in volatility offer a buying opportunity for investors looking for digital returns on the view that growth will be subdued or even flat, Eric Greschner, portfolio manager at Regatta Research & Money Management, told Prospect News. In order to take advantage of the market sell-off and the spike in implied volatilities, we struck two bespoke digitals on Thursdays and Fridays close, he said. He added a third deal on Tuesday. barrier, or European barrier, and does not necessitate any growth on the part of the underlying. If the final Japan fund level is greater than the initial fund level, the payout at maturity will be par plus an 18% upside payment. On Friday, Greschner bought his second deal: $750,000 of single review notes due Sept. 10, 2012 linked to the iShares MSCI Japan index fund issued by JPMorgan Chase & Co. The custom-made offering gives his investors a premium of 11.25% under the same conditions 0% growth or positive growth at maturity from the initial price. There is a 5% buffer on the downside with a 1% loss per point of decline beyond the buffer. Finally on Tuesday, Greschner said he bought $564,000 of additional JPMorgan notes: non-buffered single review notes due Sept. 9, 2012 linked to the SPDR S&P 500 index fund.

equity, at least in the short term. Emerging markets economies are fairly strong. Their only problem is inflation. There is the issue of interest rates hikes, but in 13 months, we will be OK. All we need is for things to stay positive, he said. Finally, Greschner said that he hedges his notes using options and shorting various securities. Marc Gerstein, research consultant at Portfolio 123 who doesnt follow the Asian markets said that the JPMorgan notes linked to the S&P 500 fund are attractive. Its not a bad deal. I like the structure. Its simple, easy to understand, he said. Its also nice to be able to get 15% even if the index doesnt do anything. The absence of a buffer may be a problem. If my upside is capped, I want a downside cap. But you can do it yourself, cutting a little bit of your upside by buying a put. Gerstein said that he would also stay away from reverse convertibles at the moment. Volatility is so crazy a lot of those barriers are going to be breached, he said. He agreed with Greschner that a finalday barrier is preferable to the Americanstyle barriers built into reverse convertibles. When the performance is reviewed just once, at the end, its different, he said. In the meantime, you can go down and go back up. But with a reverse convertible, you hit the trigger and thats a done deal. I would look at a reverse convertible if I had a good feel for a stock and if I didnt mind owning it. Otherwise, volatility being what it is and its going to get worse because people dont realize how bad it is I would stay away from them.

But the three types of structures have one thing in common: the investor gets a higher coupon as volatility goes up. The investor in those notes is selling a put, he explained. As a result, the coupon payment increases with spikes in implied
