Hedge Fund Database structure

I am playing with a toy application which aims to offer a type of fund management system.



I have taken a page from Database Answers here.



And this is what I have come up with:



enter image description here



I do not quite follow the db design:




  1. LOT: Is this used by the investor to put up for sale a security in his or her account?


  2. TransactionLots: I would imagine this is used to record the associated buy/seel for the given Lot.


  3. Transactions consist of either sell or buy (sales or purchases). I would imagine that for each transaction there must be a sell AND a buy? AKA double entry accounting?


  4. I added the "Account" table as a believe transaction will need to be debited from one account and credited to another account. Also, fees will need to be credited to a Fee account as well?


  5. The last item is "Asset" which would be a currency or a security.



So my question. In this database schema, what is the actual product? When a user sets up his account, where will he find the products to buy? Or, when this starts, would we be the first "investor"?



I guess what I am asking is, HOW do the first securities enter into the system via this design?
