Alpha field

This field displays the Alpha Code of the Instrument An instrument is a tradable asset of any kind. It is a classification of a security, for example, bonds, equities and warrants. A financial instrument can be categorised depending on whether they are cash instruments or derivative instruments. (1) Cash instruments are financial instruments whose value is determined directly by markets. They can be divided into securities, which are readily transferable, and other cash instruments such as loans and deposits, where both borrower and lender have to agree on a transfer. (2) Derivative instruments are financial instruments which derive their value from the value and characteristics of one or more underlying entities such as an asset, index, or interest rate. They can be divided into exchange-traded derivatives and over-the-counter (OTC) derivatives. Alternatively, financial instruments can be categorized by "asset class" depending on whether they are equity based (reflecting ownership of the issuing entity) or debt based (reflecting a loan the investor has made to the issuing entity)..

Status field

Only Current, Future Dated, and Suspended instruments will be displayed. Matured instruments are not displayed.

Current ISIN field

This field displays the current ISIN (International Securities Identification Number). All internationally traded securities issuers are urged to use the ISIN numbering scheme, which is now the accepted standard by virtually all countries. An International Securities Identification Number (ISIN) uniquely identifies a security. The ISIN code is generally a 12-character alpha-numerical code. An ISIN consists of three parts: a two letter country code, a nine character alpha-numeric national security identifier, and a single check digit. The ISIN does not contain information characterizing financial instruments but serves for uniform identification of a security at trading and settlement. An ISIN cannot be issued to two different securities. Example: Daimler AG stock trades through almost 30 trading platforms and exchanges worldwide, and is priced in five different currencies. It has the same ISIN on each, though not the same ticker symbol. The United States and Canada primarily use a similar scheme known as a CUSIP number.

Dual Listed field

The user will select whether the instrument is traded on more than one exchange.

The instrument can be Primary Listed Primary listed companies are those companies that first listed on an Exchange. A company can be Primary Listed, Secondary Listed or Dual Listed. For example, Anglo first listed on the NSX Exchange. Thereafter it listed on the JSE Exchange. As such, its primary listing is on the NSX and its secondary listing is on the JSE. Dual Listed companies have listed on different Exchanges but at the same time. A primary listed issuer is an issuer who complies fully with the JSE Listings Requirements. If an Issuer has more than one listing and the JSE’ s is secondary it means that the JSE accepts the primary listing’s requirements and therefore the issuer will not have to comply with all the JSE Listings Requirements., Secondary Listed or Dual Listed.
