3.6 Securities

This topic provides systematic instructions about securities maintenance.

The credit facilities granted to the customers of the bank under a credit line can be backed by the securities that the customer offers as collateral. User can maintain the details of all such securities in the Oracle Banking ELCM system. These details can then be used for determining the:
  • Limit granted under a particular security.
  • Credit worthiness of a security when it’s used as collateral.
Market based securities (Marketable Securities) are driven by market forces, the price of such securities tends to rise or fall in value. These fluctuations have a direct effect on the collateral value of the security. User can update the value of the collateral if the value of the security that backs it fluctuates beyond the increase and decrease sensitivity that has been specified.

Security maintenance is used for creating securities which are considered for external revaluation including market based securities. The Securities screen allows users to manage and query security information within the system. This includes adding new securities, updating details, and viewing price codes associated with each security.

  1. From Menu, select Limits and Collaterals. Under Limits and Collaterals, select Collaterals.
  2. Under Collaterals, select Maintenances. Under Maintenance, select Securities.
  3. Under Securities, select Security Maintenance.
    The Security Maintenance screen is displayed.
  4. On Securities screen, specify the fields.
    For more information on fields, refer to the field description table.

    Table 3-15 Securities - Field Description

    Field Description
    Security Code Specify a unique ID to identify the security. This ID is called the Security Code. This ID is used while maintaining Collateral for a market value based Security.
    Description Specify in description of the security code.
    Collateral Type Click the Search icon to select collateral type for which security maintenance is done.
    Issuer Code Click the Search icon and

    select the issuer code For whom security is associated for the collateral type to which limit is set.

    Issuer code is mandatory for securities of collateral type funds, bonds, stocks and commercial papers

    Start Date Specify the Start date of the Security (e.g. Debenture/ Bonds)

    Note: Only securities which are active (after start date and before expiry date) are available at collateral maintenance level for considering the security for creating collateral. Expired securities are not available for attaching to collateral at the time of collateral maintenance.

    End Date Specify the End date of the Security.
    Currency Click the Search icon and select the in which limit amount is to be set for security. Once authorized this entry cannot be changed.
    Equity Base Specify the equity base for the security, which represents the total amount raised through its issuance. This entry is for information purposes only.

    For example: Gem granites have come out with Debentures 98 and have raised US $1 Million through this issue. This US $1M that Gem Granites has raised constitutes the equity base for Debentures 98.

    Face Value This is the overall limit for a particular security with which collaterals can be maintained for different customers.
    Price Increase Sensitivity If the value of collateral is backed by a marketable security (whose value is driven by market forces) you may want to revalue the collateral, so that its value reflects the current market price of the security, which backs it. To do so, you should specify your sensitivity to the security.

    The price sensitivity of a security is expressed as a percentage. You should specify the percentage increase or decrease (the upper and lower limits) above or below the current market price, which should trigger the revaluation process. The revaluation process revaluates the collateral if the price of the securities that backs it fluctuates above or below the sensitivity you have defined.

    Price Decrease Sensitivity Denotes the percentage decrease in the market price of the security that should trigger a revaluation of the Collateral. This means, if the current market price of the security falls below the old market price by the percentage you have defined as the decrease sensitivity for the security, the revaluation process happens.

    For example, consider a case wherein you had specified the price decrease sensitivity of Debentures 98 to be 15%. If the market price of the security has decreased from US $100 to US $75. At this fall in the market price of the security (which is 25% below the old market value of the security), the revaluation process is triggered off, so that the Collateral value of the security reflects it s current market price.

    Limit Amount This is the overall limit for a particular security with which collaterals can be maintained for different customers. Specify the limit amount for the particular security. Limit amount is applicable for funds, bonds, stocks, and commercial papers. This is validated against the limit specified for the issuer in the collateral type under which security is created.
    Nominal Value Based.

    Switch to On to calculate the nominal value based for a particular security for the collateral value.

    Switch to Off to disable this parameter.

    Price Details If the security is quoted in different markets, its value would differ in different markets. You can maintain the various market prices of the security under the Price table. You can specify the following details under this section.

    Security created can be used in Collaterals Maintenance screen of collateral types which are enabled for external revaluation.

    Price Code Indicates the market place for which the price is quoted. This is a unique code for the security to signify the price, like market place/exchange where the price is quoted for the security.

    Note: Price Code modification for a new price with a new effective date is not allowed on an expired security.

    Price Specify the price of the security in that market.
    Description Specify the description of the price.
    Last Price Change Date on which the price was last changed. This gets updated with the date on which new price is signified for the price code. This can later be linked to Collaterals Maintenance screen which supports maintaining market value based collaterals.

    Security created can be used in Collaterals Maintenance screen of collateral types which are enabled for external revaluation.
