Division 1.2 For the purposes both of determining substitutability of deposits and classifying liabilities as deposits:
United Kingdom
- (a)
transferability refers to the possibility of mobilising funds placed in a financial instrument by using payment facilities, such as cheques, transfer orders, direct debits or similar means;
- (b)
convertibility refers to the possibility and the cost of converting financial instruments into currency or transferable deposits; the loss of fiscal advantages in the case of such conversion may be considered a penalty that reduces the degree of liquidity;
- (c)
certainty means knowing precisely in advance the capital value of a financial instrument in terms of national currency;
- (d)
securities quoted and traded regularly on an organised market are considered to be marketable. For shares in open-end collective investment undertakings, there is no market in the usual sense. Nevertheless, investors know the daily quotation of the shares and can withdraw funds at this price.
