Securities Data Model

The Financial Industry Business Data Model (FIB-DM) is the most extensive reference standard for Investment Funds.

The Securities model has 28 packages and 679 entities derived from FIBO ontology classes and ontologies.

The diagram shows the hierarchy of FIB-DM packages, which have four main folders: Securities, Equities, Debt, and Funds.

  • The SEC-Securities package covers design patterns common to all types of securities, such as identification, classification, restrictions, schedules, issuance, baskets, pools, assets, and listings.
  • SEC debt packages contain entities to model bonds, asset—and pool-backed securities, short-term debt, exercise conventions, and newly added Distributed Loans.
  • SEC-Equity (stocks) supports standard terms such as voting rights, privately held, and publicly traded. Specialized sub-packages define CFI classifications and depository receipts.
  • SEC funds include Collective Investment Vehicles (CIVs), Closed-End Funds, ETFs, Mutual Funds, and Hedge Funds.

Hundreds of more entities in FIB-DM Foundation, Finance Business & Commerce, and Business Entities design standard information such as accounts, counterparties, trades, and transactions.

See the Securities diagram gallery for select Entity-Releationship diagrams on the FIB-DM website.

The table lists the entities in the diagram with their names, codes, and definitions. The complete data model report and data dictionary are on the FIB-DM webpage.
