Securities
Instruments traded in the capital market
Securities include instruments such as stocks, bonds, mortgage bonds, and shares in investment funds. Banknotes, checks, and bills of exchange do not fall into this category.
Our glossary explains important financial terms and should not leave any questions unanswered. However, if you are missing a definition, please write to us at redaktion@deutsche-boerse.com. We will then include the term if possible.
