Delivery Instrument

    0.03 sec.
Delivery Instrument
A document that, during the delivery of the futures contract, stands in lieu of the physical asset underlying the contract.

Notes:
Delivery instruments can include warehouse receipts, shipping certificates, and vault receipts. These all are more transferable than physical commodities, and provide investors with a more efficient method of settlement.
