Dirk Coetzer is the managing director of ICON Capital Sarl, a Luxembourg-based firm that manages the ICON Investments Fund. Through the fund, Dirk Coetzer works with various types of securities, including medium-term notes (MTNs) and Euro medium-term notes (EMTNs). MTNs are notes designed to mature within 5 to 10 years, allowing investors to consider maturity when comparing note prices. MTNs enable companies to customize debt issuance and register once with the SEC. EMTNs are similar to MTNs but involve fixed dollar payments and are issued in markets beyond the US and Canada, helping issuers access foreign financial resources.
