Note
A plural that mostly lives in finance. The everyday meaning of security, the condition of being safe from threat, is uncountable and does not take this form. So securities usually means tradable assets such as shares of stock and bonds, a sense that often appears in the plural. Other countable meanings, things that secure or guarantee an obligation, can pluralize too, but in talk of portfolios and markets the financial reading is the one readers hear.
