ALL A A B B C C D D E E F F G G H H I I J J K K L L M M N N O O P P Q Q R R S S T T U U V V W W X X Z Z T Take Rate A take rate is the fee that a marketplace charges for a transaction that is carried out by a third-party seller or service provider. The take rate is a determining factor in a marketplace's revenue as reported on its income statement: Take rate * GMV (gross merchandise volume) = revenue. Tenor Tenor refers to the time between the maturity date and the maturity date of a financial instrument, such as a bond or loan. The tenor of a financial instrument can be expressed in various ways, such as years, months, or even days. Theta In finance, theta is a measure of an option's sensitivity to time-based changes in price. The Greek letter used in options pricing formulas to represent the amount by which the price of an option is expected to decline over a given period of time, due to the passage of time and the decay of the option's extrinsic value.Theta is typically expressed as a negative number, and it reflects the impact that the passage of time can have on the value of an option. Tick Ticks are units of measurement that represent the minimum price change for a security. Ticks are commonly used for expressing changes in a financial instrument's price, such as a stock, bond, commodity, or derivative, and they represent the smallest increment in a security's price. The value of a tick can vary depending on the security being traded and the market in which it is traded, but it is typically very small. For example, in the stock market, a tick may be equal to one cent for some stocks and $0.01 for others. Ticks are often used by traders and investors to track the performance of a security and to make decisions about buying and selling. Treasury bill (T-bill) T-bills are short-term debt securities issued by the U.S. government. T-bills are sold in denominations ranging from $100 to $1,000,000, and their maturities range from a few days to 52 weeks. Since T-bills are backed by the full faith and credit of the United States government, they are considered to be very safe investments. Investors often use them to park money or diversify their portfolios for a short period of time. T-bills do not pay interest, but they are sold at a discount to their face value, and the difference between the purchase price and the face value represents the return to the investor. T-bills are issued through competitive and noncompetitive bidding processes. Transaction Exposure Transaction exposure is the potential loss a company may incur due to changes in foreign exchange rates on existing financial obligations or expected future cash flows. Companies can use a variety of financial instruments and strategies to manage transaction exposure. Transaction exposure is also known as economic exposure. Trader A trader is a person who buys and sells financial instruments such as stocks, bonds, currencies, commodities, or derivatives in an attempt to make a profit. Traders can work on their own or as part of a larger financial institution, such as a bank or brokerage firm. Translation Exposure / Transaction Risk The translation exposure (also known as the translation risk) is the possibility that an organization's assets, liabilities, or income will change in value as a result of changes in exchange rates. Translation risk occurs when a company has equities, assets, liabilities, or income denominated in a foreign currency. Target redemption forwards (TARFs) Target redemption forwards (TARFs) are complex financial instruments that allow holders to exchange currencies at a better rate than the standard forward rate. Corporate organizations often use TARFs in foreign exchange (FX) markets. With multiple partial settlement dates, they combine a barrier (knock-out) call option and a barrier (knock-out) put option. If the enhanced rate reaches a target level, the product automatically expires if the holder hasn't paid an upfront premium. Tied Gold Tied gold in finance refers to a system where a country's currency is directly linked to gold reserves. Under this system, the value of the currency is backed by a fixed quantity of gold, and the government promises to exchange the currency for a specific amount of gold upon request. It is a form of gold standard. < PREVIOUS NEXT >

ALL A A B B C C D D E E F F G G H H I I J J K K L L M M N N O O P P Q Q R R S S T T U U V V W W X X Z Z P Pips Pips are units of measurement used to express the change in value between two currencies. Pips represent the smallest increments of difference in exchange rates and they represent the change in value between two currencies. For most currency pairs, a pip is equal to the fourth decimal place of the exchange rate, but it can vary depending on the pair being traded and the size of the trade. A one-pip change in the EUR/USD exchange rate, for example, would be 1.1234 to 1.1235. A pip is a unit of measurement used in forex trading to calculate profit and loss. It is a crucial concept for traders to grasp. Positive Carry A positive carry occurs when the income generated by holding a financial asset exceeds its cost. This typically occurs when the asset pays a higher rate of return or yield than the cost of financing the purchase of the asset. Put Option Put options are financial contracts that give the holder the right, but not the obligation, to sell a specific asset at a predetermined price (the strike price) before a specific date (the expiration date). The asset that the put option gives the holder the right to sell is known as the underlying asset. Put options are often used as a way to hedge against potential price declines in the underlying asset, or to speculate on price declines. Put Spread A put spread is an option strategy that involves purchasing one put option while simultaneously selling another put option on the same underlying asset. The put options have different strike prices, and the option that is purchased has a higher strike price than the option that is sold. The goal of a put spread is to profit from a downward move in the price of the underlying asset, while also limiting potential losses. Primary Dealer A primary dealer is a financial institution that is authorized to buy and sell securities directly with a central bank, such as the Federal Reserve in the United States. Primary dealers are an important part of the financial system because they help to facilitate the implementation of monetary policy by the central bank. Primary dealers are typically large, well-capitalized banks or securities firms that are able to make markets in a wide range of securities, including U.S. government securities, agency securities, and mortgage-backed securities. They also act as market makers in these securities, providing liquidity to the market and helping to ensure that prices remain stable. Pegged Exchange Rate The pegged exchange rate system incorporates aspects of floating and fixed exchange rate systems. Smaller economies that are particularly susceptible to currency fluctuations will “peg” their currency (pegged currency) to a single major currency or a basket of currencies. These currencies are chosen based on which country the smaller economy experiences a lot of trade activity with or on which currency the nation’s debt is denominated in. < PREVIOUS NEXT >

ALL A A B B C C D D E E F F G G H H I I J J K K L L M M N N O O P P Q Q R R S S T T U U V V W W X X Z Z E Electronic invoicing Electronic invoicing (e-invoicing) refers to the creation, exchange, and processing of invoices electronically instead of on paper. E-invoicing involves sending invoices electronically between a supplier and a buyer, usually via the internet. There are several benefits to this method of invoicing over traditional paper invoicing, including increased efficiency, reduced errors and fraud, improved cash flow, and lower costs for printing and mailing. In addition, e-invoicing can be integrated with financial systems, making the accounts payable process easier to automate and improving cash flow visibility. Embedded finance Embedded finance refers to the integration of financial services into non-financial products or services. This can take many forms, such as adding payment or lending functionality to a mobile app or website, or bundling insurance or investment products into a larger offering. Embedded finance aims to make financial services more accessible for consumers by bringing them directly into the products and services they use. Emerging markets Emerging markets refer to countries that are in the process of developing their economies and are considered to be of high growth potential. These countries are often classified as being less developed than more industrialized nations and are characterized by a lower level of per capita income, less developed financial markets, and less mature political systems. Exotic currency An exotic currency is a term used to describe a currency that is not widely traded or used in international transactions. These currencies are typically from smaller or less developed countries, and may be less liquid or more volatile than major currencies. Examples of exotic currencies are the Brazilian Real (BRL), South African Rand (ZAR), Mexican Peso (MXN). Turkish Lira (TRY), Indian Rupee (INR) and Russian Ruble. Exchange rate An exchange rate is the price at which one currency can be exchanged for another currency. It is the value of one currency in terms of another currency, and is determined by the supply and demand for the two currencies in the foreign exchange market. Economic value added (EVA) Economic value added (EVA) is a measure of a company's economic profit, or the value it creates beyond what shareholders require. A company's EVA is calculated by subtracting its after-tax operating profit from its cost of capital. ECB rate ECB rates are foreign exchange reference rates published by the European Central Bank. Every working day, the bank publishes the exchange rate for European currencies against the euro (EUR). < PREVIOUS NEXT >

ALL A A B B C C D D E E F F G G H H I I J J K K L L M M N N O O P P Q Q R R S S T T U U V V W W X X Z Z R Reserve Currency The term reserve currency refers to a large amount of currency held by central banks and major financial institutions for international transactions. Since reserves do not need to be exchanged for trade, reserve currencies reduce exchange rate risk. Repurchase Agreement (REPO) Repo transactions involve one party selling securities to another with the agreement to buy them back later at a higher price. Often, repos are used to raise short-term capital or finance the purchase of securities. There are two types of repos: term repos, which have a fixed maturity date, and open repos, which have no fixed maturity date and can be terminated at any time. A repos is most commonly used by banks, hedge funds, and other financial institutions as a way to raise short-term capital, and they are considered a low-risk investment because they are usually secured with high-quality securities. Real-time gross settlement (RTGS) Real-time gross settlement (RTGS) systems are specialist funds transfer systems that allow money or securities to be transferred from one bank to another in real time and on a gross basis to avoid settlement risk. When a payment transaction is settled "in real time," there is no waiting period. Transactions are settled as soon as they are processed. The term "gross settlement" means the transaction is settled one-to-one, without bundling or netting with any other transaction. "Settlement" refers to payments that are final and irrevocable once processed. Reverse Repurchase Agreement (Rev REPO) A reverse repo is a financial transaction where one party purchases securities from another party and then sells them back at a lower price at a later date. Like regular repos, reverse repos can be either term repos or open repos, depending on whether they have a fixed maturity date. Reverse repos are typically used by banks, hedge funds, and other financial institutions as a way to invest short-term excess cash or to finance the purchase of securities. Rho Rho is a measure of the sensitivity of an option's price to changes in the risk-free interest rate. It is a Greek letter used in options pricing formulas to represent the amount by which the price of an option is expected to change in response to a 1% change in the risk-free interest rate. Rho is typically expressed as a percentage, and it reflects the impact that changes in the risk-free interest rate can have on the value of an option. Risk Reversal Risk reversals are financial transactions in which two parties exchange risk. It is generally used to hedge against or speculate on changes in the value of an underlying asset. One common type of risk reversal is an options strategy that involves the simultaneous purchase of a put option and the sale of a call option on the same underlying asset. This strategy is also known as a short straddle or a short combination. The put option gives the holder the right to sell the underlying asset at a predetermined price (the strike price), while the call option gives the holder the right to buy the underlying asset at the same strike price. Run on the Bank A run on the bank is a situation where a large number of depositors attempt to withdraw their money from a bank at the same time due to concerns about the bank's solvency or financial stability. This can be triggered by rumors or actual news of the bank's financial difficulties or instability. A run on the bank can have serious consequences, as it can lead to the bank's inability to fulfill the withdrawal requests of its depositors, resulting in a liquidity crisis that can spread to other banks and the wider financial system. In some cases, governments or central banks may step in to provide support and prevent a wider financial crisis. Repatriation of Profits The repatriation of profits means that a firm can send earnings or assets from abroad back to its home country in hard currency such as USD, EUR, and others. Rolling Option A rolling option is an options contract that grants a buyer the right to purchase something at a future date, as well as the choice to extend the expiration date of that right, for a fee. Realized Currency Gain A realized currency gain is the result of an increase in the exchange rate between the date the invoice is issued and the date it is settled in a foreign currency. Consequently, the amount converted to the base currency at settlement is greater than the amount at the time the invoice was raised, resulting in a profit. Realised Currency Loss Realised currency loss occurs when the exchange rate moves unfavorably between the date an invoice in a foreign currency is issued and the date it is settled. This results in the amount converted to the base currency at settlement being less than the amount at the time the invoice was raised, leading to a financial loss. < PREVIOUS NEXT >
