Types of investment instruments |
| The design of investment instruments has been realized following a detailed analysis of all investment instruments existing at present. The illustration of new, not yet existing finance innovations can therefore be shown by using the existing types. Kyros differentiates between the following types of investment instruments: Shares, obligations, special obligations, share funds, obligation funds, various funds, warrants & options, discounted instruments, liquidity (time deposits, fixed deposits, daily deposits, calls), foreign exchange transactions, current accounts, money market (on interest rates), benchmark & indices, presentations of deposits, presentation of credits, futures, FRAs, margin accounts, and merchandise. The masks for the feeding in process (information fields) adjust themselves to any of these specific investment instruments. Only fields necessary for this particular instrument are available during the input, e.g. changeable obligations in connection with special obligations, or underlying in connection with options and warrants. The working procedure has been adjusted to every single one of these instruments, e.g. no interests for liquidity, fund splitting (evaluation of all available criteria) in connection with funds, separation of bonds (contents and importance) of benchmarks and indices (user defined benchmarks may also become part of other benchmarks), repayment plans for obligations, etc. The evaluation of of the various instruments has also been adjusted, foreign exchange transactions and futures will, for example, not only be evaluated by multiplying the units and the exchange rate. The exposure and the commitments will be shown independently from this process. |
