principal basis

  

Definition

Sale of securities through one or more dealers who (at least initially) buy a block of them for their own portfolios, thus incurring the market risk (systemic risk) as principals. The dealer(s) then may sell the securities their customers at a markup or markdown, as the case may be. See also agency basis.
