Capital Markets Instrument
In the financial services industry, Capital Market Instruments are assorted financial
instruments issued by organizations to raise capital for funding operations. Participants are
made up of interested parties that choose to supply or acquire the capital funding through such
vehicles. Derivatives, debt instruments, equities and foreign exchange instruments that are
traded in highly liquid markets represent the instruments. In the PeopleSoft financial analytic
applications, Capital Market securities refer to instruments that are bought/sold by the
institution for its own investment account. The capital markets set the product prices and
