Direct Investment
Buying securities or business interests directly from the issuer or target company rather than through a secondary-market intermediary.
Investing terms for direct and cross border investment vehicles.
Direct And Cross Border Investment Vehicles 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.
| Term | Use it for |
|---|---|
| Direct Investment | An implementation, product, market-data, ownership-action, or warning-sign term. |
| Direct Investment Abroad | An implementation, product, market-data, ownership-action, or warning-sign term. |
| International Depository Receipt | A term page that narrows this branch to a specific investing concept, evidence source, or decision point. |
| Overseas Investment | An implementation, product, market-data, ownership-action, or warning-sign term. |
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.
