Security Designation List

Securities

To specify a security on SEDI, you select a Security Category and then specify a Security Designation. The security designation includes a security name (selected from the drop-down list box) and the additional description (if you have provided one). The options in the Security name drop-down list box depend on the security category you have selected.

The following security categories and their associated security names are outlined in the following table.

Note: Most securities are generally defined by the issuer, however Third Party Derivatives are defined by the insider (e.g. call or put options).
