“Convertible securities tend to be subordinate to other debt securities issued by the same issuer. Also, issuers of convertible securities are often not as strong financially as issuers with higher credit ratings,” according to CWB’s prospectus. “Convertible securities generally provide yields higher than the underlying stocks, but generally lower than comparable non-convertible securities.”
