derivatives financial
"The subsidiary will be able to provide dealing services in derivatives"
Derivatives are financial contracts whose value depends on the price or performance of another asset, such as a stock, bond, commodity, currency or interest rate. Investors use them to hedge against risk, to speculate on future price moves, or to gain exposure without owning the asset — like buying insurance or placing a leveraged bet — so they can both protect portfolios and magnify gains or losses, affecting risk and market liquidity.
View in glossary
foreign exchange contracts financial
"dealing services in derivatives and foreign exchange contracts"
Agreements that exchange one currency for another at a specified rate and time; they can settle immediately (spot) or on a future date (forwards, futures, options). Investors and companies use them to lock in a price for buying or selling foreign money, which helps manage the risk that exchange rates will move against cross-border investments, earnings, or payments. Think of it like locking a hotel or flight price today to avoid surprises later when the value changes.
tcsp license regulatory
"The subsidiary has acquired the TCSP license registered with the Companies Registry"
A TCSP license is official permission from a regulator for a business to offer trust and company services—such as forming companies, acting as trustee or nominee director/shareholder, providing registered addresses, or managing corporate records. It matters to investors because it signals the provider is subject to oversight, screening, and anti-money‑laundering rules, similar to how a restaurant health permit indicates regulatory checks on food safety.
