Word of the Day
ISIN
It is a unique identification number given to each stock in the world
ISIN = International Securities Identification Number.
Just like how every person has a unique Aadhaar number in India, every stock (across different countries) is assigned a unique ISIN.
No two companies in the world can have the same ISIN.
Example: US0378331005 is the ISIN for Apple. INE090A01021 is the ISIN for ICICI Bank.
Your stocks details are stored in your demat account using the ISIN of each stock.
ISIN is different from ticker symbols.
Ticker symbols are more useful for trading since they are shortened names of companies that can be read very quickly.
