Security Identifiers
Security Identifier Screens
We offers screen shots for a company’s securities.
Bonds, Stocks and Financial Instruments, usually have one or more identifier codes, issued by various clearing houses or other agencies. The purpose of these identifiers is to prevent confusion when discussing a particular security, particularly a bond (because a company will usually only have one class of stock, but can have many different bond issues). This is a list of what the various securities codes stand for, who issues them, and what their structure is.
