- Liquidity riskThe risk of being unable to get out of a position at or near the quoted price — because the contract is bilateral, because the order book is thin, or because volumes dry up near expiry.
- Market riskThe risk of loss from movements in market prices — one named category in a manager's risk framework, alongside credit, liquidity and operational risk, and the one measured with VaR and stress tests.
- SCORESSEBI's centralised web-based system for processing investor complaints, on which the company or intermediary must upload an Action Taken Report and the investor can watch the status online.
- Unique Client CodeThe single code a broker assigns to a client once KYC is complete, mapped to that client's PAN and demat account, under which every one of the client's orders must be entered on the exchange.
