typically buy a call warrant to benefit from an up trending underlying asset
while bearish investors may buy a put warrant to benefit from a down-trending
underlying asset.

Kenanga’s
local equity warrants have consistently been the most popular trading
instruments in Malaysia, as demonstrated by its “Best Structured Warrants
Issuer 2020” award by Bursa Malaysia, accounting for over 25 percent of
warrant turnover in 2020.
