1) Overview
The Financial Instruments module manages the securities (bonds, notes, structured products) issued or administered by NVG, and the corresponding investor subscriptions.
- Securities — the financial instruments themselves (e.g. a bond with ISIN, interest rate, term)
- Subscriptions — individual investor commitments to a specific security (who bought how many units)
2) Securities
Navigate to Financial Instruments → Securities.
A Security represents one financial product — typically a bond or note with a defined set of terms: ISIN, currency, denomination, interest rate, term, and volume.

- Open a security by clicking its row, or click the detail icon on the right
