No, it's because you're using OR conditions, which pre 5.0 circumvent the optimizer. Use UNION to bypass this shortcoming:

SELECT * FROM SECM_SECURITY_UNIVERSE ssu
INNER JOIN PREFERRED_STOCK_INFORMATION psu
ON ssu.ASSET_ID = psuy.ASSET_ID
WHERE psu.PROCESSED > 0
UNION
SELECT * FROM SECM_SECURITY_UNIVERSE ssu
INNER JOIN BOND_CORE_INFORMATION bcu
ON ssu.ASSET_ID = bcu.ASSET_ID
WHERE bci.PROCESSED>0
UNION
SELECT * FROM SECM_SECURITY_UNIVERSE ssu
INNER JOIN CONVERTIBLE_BOND_INFO cbi
ON ssu.ASSET_ID = cbi.ASSET_ID
WHERE cbi.PROCESSED > 0;

This should allow the indexes on ASSET_ID to use on eq_ref access strategy. BTW, putting an index on PROCESSED column is a waste since it has such low cardinality.
