Description / Abstract:
This International Standard specifies the elements of an
unambiguous legal entity identifier (LEI) scheme to identify the
legal entities relevant to any financial transaction.
The term "legal entities" includes, but is not limited to,
unique parties that are legally or financially responsible for the
performance of financial transactions or have the legal right in
their jurisdiction to enter independently into legal contracts,
regardless of whether they are incorporated or constituted in some
other way (e.g. trust, partnership, contractual). It excludes
natural persons, but includes governmental organizations and
supranationals.
The LEI is designed for automated processing. It may also be
conveniently used in other media interchange when appropriate (e.g.
paper document exchange).
NOTE Examples of eligible legal entities include, without
limitation:
— all financial intermediaries;
— banks and finance companies;
— all entities that issue equity, debt or other securities for
other capital structures;
— all entities listed on an exchange;
— all entities that trade stock or debt, investment vehicles,
including mutual funds, pension funds and alternative investment
vehicles constituted as corporate entities or collective investment
agreements (including umbrella funds as well as funds under an
umbrella structure, hedge funds, private equity funds, etc.);
— all entities under the purview of a financial regulator and
their affiliates, subsidiaries and holding companies;
— counterparties to financial transactions.
