Yes should be a good read, fixed income is an interesting space. No in contingent convertible bonds the bonds are only converted to equity in certain triggering events as I mentioned earlier, you as a bond holder do not have any conversion rights. It absolutely has a place in tier 1 capital but their risk return profile needs to be reevaluated considering the Swiss madness and CS management’s greed.

Additionally, they can be callable and in practice most cocos are called back after 5/10 years during periods of low interest rates.
