• Key Concepts: 
  Portion is a term used in the FS-CMS Collateral Management System (CMS) to refer to a specific part of a collateral item. A portion can be used to divide a collateral item into multiple parts, each with its own characteristics and values. For example, a portion can be used to divide a loan into multiple tranches, each with its own interest rate and maturity date. 
  
  How to use it: 
  In the FS-CMS CMS, portions are used to manage the different parts of a collateral item. When creating a new collateral item, users can define the portions that make up the item. Each portion can have its own characteristics and values, such as interest rate and maturity date. Once the portions are defined, users can manage them individually or as part of the overall collateral item. 
  
  Tips & Tricks: 
  When creating portions for a collateral item, it is important to consider how they will interact with each other. For example, if one portion has a higher interest rate than another, it may be beneficial to link them together so that they both benefit from the higher rate. Additionally, it is important to consider how changes in one portion may affect other portions.
