Key Terms

market abuse, legal entity identifier, american depository shares

3 terms

market abuse regulatory

"in accordance with the requirements of the EU and UK market abuse regimes"

Market abuse is illegal or unethical behavior that distorts the price or fairness of buying and selling financial assets, such as using secret information to trade, spreading false or misleading news, or creating fake buying and selling to give a false impression of demand. It matters to investors because it can cause unfair losses, unreliable prices and legal or reputational fallout; like cheating in a game or tampering with a scale, it destroys confidence that markets reflect true value.

legal entity identifier regulatory

"Legal Entity Identifier code | 21380068P1DRHMJ8KU70"

A legal entity identifier (LEI) is a unique, standardized code that functions like a global ID card for businesses and organizations involved in financial markets. It helps investors and regulators reliably identify who is on the other side of a deal, trace ownership and links between firms, and reduce confusion or fraud — improving transparency for reporting, risk assessment, and cross-border trades.

american depository shares financial

"Description of the financial instrument | American Depository Shares (SHEL)"

American depository shares are U.S.-listed securities that stand in for a foreign company’s ordinary shares, held by a U.S. bank which issues the ADS so investors can trade the foreign stock in U.S. dollars and on U.S. exchanges. Think of them like a locally wrapped version of a foreign product—easier to buy and sell at home—but they still carry risks from currency differences, foreign rules and potential limits on voting rights, so they affect access, liquidity and investment risk.
