Classification of Financial Instruments: translation
( CFI) Euroclear Clearing and Settlement glossary
An International Standard defining and describing codes for an internationally valid system to classify financial instruments. In principle, the CFI code reflects characteristics that are defined when a financial instrument is issued and that remain unchanged during its entire lifetime. However, a few events that may lead to a new CFI code for the same instrument are anticipated, such as the changing of voting rights or ownership restrictions by a stockholders' meeting.
