Portfolio Composition:
- Type of Assets or Financial Instruments: This section details the types of assets included in the portfolio, such as depository receipts or other financial instruments. For instance, it may mention specific types of contracts like the "deed of transfer," which is a standard default contract generated for every transaction.

Underlying Portfolio and Pricing:
- Underlying Portfolio: For depository receipts, the overview tab will specify the underlying portfolio of normal shares. The value of these shares affects the price of the depository receipts.
- Ratio: This indicates the number of depository receipts issued per share. A common ratio is 1:1, but it can vary depending on the share price and the need to offer smaller units. For example, a 1:10 ratio would mean that each share corresponds to ten depository receipts.
-
Tax Considerations:
- The overview may include suggestions for working with large quantities of depository receipts, especially if the aim is to keep the unit price low and accessible.
