16 hrs confidence:
distribution of underlying assets Explanation: Sometimes 'support' can be synonymous with 'sous-jacent' or 'sous-option', that is the underlying asset of a derivative contract/option, etc. Consider this from Wikipedia: "Actif sous-jacent Aller à : Navigation, rechercher Cet article est une ébauche concernant la finance. Vous pouvez partager vos connaissances en l’améliorant (comment ?) selon les recommandations des projets correspondants. Un actif sous-jacent est un actif sur lequel porte une option ou plus largement un produit dérivé. Il peut être financier (actions, obligations, bons du Trésor, contrats à terme, devises, indices boursiers...) ou physique (matières premières agricoles ou minérales...). L'actif sous-jacent est l'actif réel sur le prix contractuel duquel porte le produit dérivé concerné. Il désigne en effet ** l'instrument support** d'un contrat à terme dont la qualité est strictement définie. Par exemple, pour un call Accor d'échéance décembre 2009, l'actif sous-jacent est l'action Accor." But I don't know why they would say support instead of the more common 'sous-jacent' or what the implication might be. -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 1 day2 hrs (2010-10-10 07:23:36 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- Actually that might be why. I can't say, but I consulted the Quebec granddictionnaire.com for 'support' and under the classification 'finance' you do get 'sous-jacent' or 'underlying' in English. Without more context, (for example do you know what items are listed under this heading?) it's hard to tell exactly what they mean.
