Fair Value Levels
AFS financial assets, control securities, noncovered securities, and Level 1, 2, and 3 asset classifications.
Investable-universe, marketable-security, security-classification, and selection-screen terms used before portfolio construction.
Security Selection and Market Universe terms help classify the securities, issuers, vehicles, rights, liquidity profiles, and accounting labels that define an investable universe.
Use this branch when the investable set, ownership right, fair-value input, cash-equivalent status, issuer signal, or cross-border vehicle affects portfolio selection.
| Area | Use it for |
|---|---|
| Accounting Classification and Fair Value Levels | Security selection, vehicle, liquidity, rights, issuer, and market-universe terms. |
| Global, Direct, and Collective Investment Vehicles | Direct, cross-border, collective, institutional, and income-oriented investment vehicle terms. |
| Issuer Selection and Market Signals | Security selection, vehicle, liquidity, rights, issuer, and market-universe terms. |
| Liquidity, Cash Equivalents, and Marketable Securities | Security selection, vehicle, liquidity, rights, issuer, and market-universe terms. |
| Security Rights, Convertibility, and Transferability | Security selection, vehicle, liquidity, rights, issuer, and market-universe terms. |
Check the security type, issuer, listing or trading venue, liquidity, rights, transfer restrictions, fair-value level, accounting classification, and whether the label affects portfolio eligibility.
