fungible
fungible definition - business
fungible
Of or relating to assets that are identical in quality and are interchangeable. Commodities, options, and securities are fungible assets. For example, an investor's shares of General Electric left in custody at a brokerage firm are freely mixed with other customers' General Electric shares. Likewise, stock options are freely interchangeable among investors, and wheat stored in a grain elevator is not specifically identified as to its ownership.
