English to Norwegian Bus/Financial Finance (general)

Before a company's securities can begin to trade on a US exchange, the company must register that class of securities (debt or equity) with the SEC under Section 12(b) of the Exchange Act. Typically, when a company goes public, it also lists its securities for trading on a "national securities exchange" (as defined by the SEC) such as the NYSE or NASDAQ.

I ordboken finner jeg følgende:
debt securities = gjeldsinstrumenter
equity securities = egenkapitalinstrumenter

Men er det disse uttrykkene som brukes? Kunne man like godt ha sagt f.eks. obligasjoner og aksjer?
