4. A reference to a ‘sub-class’ means a reference to a sub-asset class segmented to a more granular level on basis of further qualitative segmentation criteria as set out in Tables 2.2 to 13.3 of this Annex.

5. ‘Average daily notional amount (ADNA)’ means the total notional amount for a particular financial instrument determined according to the volume measure set out in Table 4 of Annex II and executed in the period set out in Article 13(7), divided by the number of trading days in that period or, where applicable, that part of the year during which the financial instrument was admitted to trading or traded on a trading venue and was not suspended from trading.

Bonds (ETC and ETN bond types) – classes not having a liquid market

Asset class – Bonds (ETC and ETN bond type)

For the purpose of determining the classes of financial instruments considered not to have a liquid market as per Article 6a the following methodology shall apply:

Exchange Traded Commodities (ETCs) – RTS2#3 = ETCS: a debt instrument issued against a direct investment by the issuer in commodities or commodities derivative contracts. The price of an ETC is directly or indirectly linked to the performance of the underlying. An ETC passively tracks the performance of the commodity or commodity indices to which it refers.

All ETCs are considered not to have a liquid market

Exchange Traded Notes (ETNs) – RTS2#3 = ETNS: a debt instrument issued against a direct investment by the issuer in the underlying or underlying derivative contracts. The price of an ETN is directly or indirectly linked to the performance of the underlying. An ETN passively tracks the performance of the underlying to which it refers.

All ETNs are considered not to have a liquid market

RTS2#3 = DERV

RTS2#4 = CRDT

an index credit default swap sub-class is defined by the following segmentation criteria:

The underlying index is considered to have a liquid market:

(1)  during the whole period of its ‘on-the-run status’

(2)  for the first 30 working days of its ‘1x off-the-run status’

‘on-the-run’ index means the rolling most recent version (series) of the index created on the date on which the composition of the index is effective and ending one day prior to the date on which the composition of the next version (series) of the index is effective.

‘1x off-the-run status’ means the version (series) of the index which is immediately prior to the current ‘on-the-run’ version (series) at a certain point in time. A version (series) ceases being ‘on-the-run’ and acquires its ‘1x off-the-run’ status when the latest version (series) of the index is created.

Asset class — C10 Derivatives

Sub-asset class

For the purpose of the determination of the classes of financial instruments considered not to have a liquid market as per Articles 6 and 8(1)(b), each sub-asset class shall be further segmented into sub-classes as defined below

Each sub-class shall be determined not to have a liquid market as per Articles 6 and 8(1)(b) if it does not meet one or all of the following thresholds of the quantitative liquidity criteria

Average daily notional amount (ADNA)

[quantitative liquidity criterion 1]

Average daily number of trades

[quantitative liquidity criterion 2]

Freight derivatives

a financial instrument relating to freight rates as defined in Section C(10) of Annex I of Directive 2014/65/EU

RTS2#3 = ‘DERV’ and RTS2#4 = ‘COMM’ and RTS23#35 = ‘FRGT’

a freight derivative sub-class is defined by the following segmentation criteria:

Segmentation criterion 1 (RTS2#5) — contract type: futures or options

Segmentation criterion 2 (RTS23#36) — freight type

Segmentation criterion 3 (RTS2#37) — freight sub-type

Segmentation criterion 4 (RTS2#12) —specification of the size related to the freight sub-type

Segmentation criterion 5 (RTS2#13) — specific route or time charter average

Segmentation criterion 6 (RTS2#8) — time to maturity bucket of the derivative defined as follows:

Maturity bucket 1: 0 < time to maturity ≤ 1 month

Maturity bucket 2: 1 month < time to maturity ≤ 3 months

Maturity bucket 3: 3 months < time to maturity ≤ 6 months

Maturity bucket 4: 6 months < time to maturity ≤ 9 months

Maturity bucket 5: 9 months < time to maturity ≤ 1 year
