WHAT DOES SECURITIES MEAN IN ENGLISH?

securities

Security (finance)

A security is a tradable financial asset of any kind. Securities are broadly categorized into: ▪ debt securities, ▪ equity securities, ▪ derivative securities,. The company or other entity issuing the security is called the issuer. A country's regulatory structure determines what qualifies as a security. For example, private investment pools may have some features of securities, but they may not be registered or regulated as such if they meet various restrictions. Securities may be represented by a certificate or, more typically, "non-certificated", that is in electronic or "book entry" only form. Certificates may be bearer, meaning they entitle the holder to rights under the security merely by holding the security, or registered, meaning they entitle the holder to rights only if he or she appears on a security register maintained by the issuer or an intermediary. They include shares of corporate stock or mutual funds, bonds issued by corporations or governmental agencies, stock options or other options, limited partnership units, and various other formal investment instruments that are negotiable and fungible.

Definition of securities in the English dictionary

The definition of securities in the dictionary is stocks, shares, bonds, or other certificates that you buy in order to earn regular interest from them or to sell them later for a profit.

10 QUOTES WITH «SECURITIES»

Famous quotes and sentences with the word securities.
1
Abdul Aziz Al Ghurair
One way to ease liquidity for banks is that the government can buy all highly rated securities held by the banks. Every single bank in the U.A.E. has some sovereign debts in their portfolios. I am not asking them to buy any junk bonds, rather the high quality U.A.E. government debt.
2
Abdul Aziz Al Ghurair
The Central Bank should have a permanent window for discounting high quality securities where banks could go and discount these. It gives peace of mind to the banks. In the absence of this facility, what banks tend to do is to keep a liquidity cushion for emergency requirements. This is a very expensive way of managing liquidity.
3
Preet Bharara
Securities fraud generally and insider trading in particular should be eminently deterrable crimes.
4
Billy Connolly
I think my securities far outweigh my insecurities. I am not nearly as afraid of myself and my imagination as I used to be.
5
Arthur Levitt

6
Arthur Levitt
Although the Internet makes it seem as if you have a direct connection to the securities market, you don't. Lines may clog; systems may break; orders may back-up.
7
Arthur Levitt
Today, the forces of competition, technology, and globalization have converged to spur innovation and to transform the way business is done in the securities industry.
8
Merton Miller
My research interests since then have shifted strongly towards the economic and regulatory problems of the financial services industry, and especially of the securities and options exchanges.
9
Don Nickles
Well, we want to make sure there's not securities fraud.
10
John Perkins
The Treasury Department would use the interest from these securities to hire U.S. companies to build Saudi Arabia - new cities, new infrastructure - which we've done.
