18.5 Securities-Knowingly are a type of securities that are issued by companies for the purpose of raising capital. They are typically issued in the form of debt securities such as bonds. These securities are known as “Knowingly” securities because they are issued with knowledge of the company’s financial condition and the potential risks associated with investing in them. There are two main types of 18.5 Securities-Knowingly: corporate bonds and convertible bonds. Corporate bonds are issued by companies and are typically backed by assets such as buildings, equipment, and other forms of collateral. Convertible bonds are issued by companies with the option to convert the debt into equity at a later date.
