Covered warrant

Stock warrant granting to the holder the right to purchase shares that are held in a separate covering portfolio until the expiration date.

Covered warrants are a sub-category of naked warrants. They are typically issued by an underwriting bank rather than by the stock corporation itself. The exercise of covered warrants does not alter the company's capital stock.
