Not, as it transpires, merely a pedantic way of saying security interest; a security entitlement is a concept harvested from the United States Uniform Commercial Code.

It “is the rights and property interest of an entitlement holder with respect to a financial asset held through a securities intermediary”[1] and you can find it at UCC §8-102(a)(17), if the fancy truly grabs you.
