22 Process A Block Securities Deal

A block deal is one in which either the buy or the sell legs of the deal are associated with more than one portfolio. For example, in a block securities deal, securities can be bought from portfolios PF01, PF02, PF03 and sold to Portfolio PF04. To recall, in the Securities Deal Details screen you can enter deals that involve only two parties, the selling, and the buying party. The Block Securities Deal screen allows you to execute a securities deal in the market and allocate the same to several portfolios. Block deals are processed differently for the fund and non-fund branches. In the case of a fund branch, you can trade only with bank portfolios. For non-fund branches, block deals can involve customer portfolios.
