20 Define Portfolio

After creating Portfolio Products, you can proceed to set up a securities portfolio. In Oracle Banking Treasury Management securities portfolios can be defined for the following:

  • The Bank
  • The Bank Customers
  • An Issuer of securities

The portfolios that you set up should necessarily be associated with a portfolio product. All portfolios associated with a portfolio product will inherit the attributes defined for it. Certain attributes can be changed to suit the portfolio you are defining.

While setting up a portfolio, you can indicate details such as:

  • The currency of the portfolio
  • The revaluation method and frequency
  • Inventory management preferences (valuation) method (LIFO, FIFO, deal matching, WAC)
  • The basis for asset accounting (in case of a bank portfolio)

Specify restrictions on the securities that the portfolio can trade-in. The preferences (that involve accounting entries) specified for a product default. These preferences cannot be changed.

Note:

In Oracle Banking Treasury Management, portfolio products and securities portfolios are defined at the bank level. They will be available to the branches of your bank, based on the restrictions that you set up.
