AssetType

Indicates the asset type. Typically used in conjunction with AssetClass and SecurityType. Can be attached to a Context element or to a Security element. For equities, examples include stocks, convertibles, warrants and preferred stocks. For bonds, examples include the major fixed income sectors typically used in major fixed income index benchmarks. These include U.S. Treasuries, Corporate High Yield and Municipals, among others.
Usage
