A negotiable investment[1] in bearer or registered form and which the holder may freely transfer by delivery:
- Debt: A debt security: A bond, note, MTN, warrant, certificate of deposit — that kind of thing — evidencing indebtedness;
- Equities: An equity security, evidencing an equity interest in an undertaking,
To be contrasted with indebtedness or exposure in the form of, say, a loan or over-the-counter derivative, where the creditor or counterparty cannot easily sell its right to repayment[2].
Transfer
These days transferable securities are cleared electronically through clearing systems like Euroclear, Clearstream and DTC. The days of security-printed bearer bonds are over.
Also called a physical security (to distinguish it from a synthetic one).
Securitisation
To “securitise” an income stream or asset (or a loan, or OTC derivative) is to convert it into the form of a transferable security so it can be easily transferred in the market.
