This episode, focuses on issues relevant to the security of investments. We discuss the meaning of security in financial transactions and the methods via one may obtain it. We explain the function of quasi proprietary rights and how they can serve to secure a loan or ensure the repayment of some debt. We also discuss guarantees, indemnities and other contractual mechanisms such as retention of title clauses. We conclude with a reflection on cryptocurrencies as security mechanisms and on what could be used to secure against the volatility in the price of cryptocurrencies themselves.
