Annex
EMIR Classification
The information contained in this Annex is provided for your reference only
and shall not be taken as legal advice. Please seek professional advice if
you need assistance with classifying yourself under EMIR.
EMIR classifies two main categories of counterparty to an OTC derivatives
contract:
Financial Counterparties ("FC" or "FCs") — includes banks, insurers,
investment firms, fund managers, spread betting firms and pension schemes;
and
Non-Financial Counterparties ("NFC" or "NFCs") — any counterparty that is
not classified as a financial counterparty including entities not involved
in financial services.
Further, NFCs are divided into two sub-categories:
NFC+
A "NFC+" is an NFC that has outstanding derivative transactions with a
notional value which exceed any of the following thresholds:
EUR 1 billion in gross notional value for OTC credit derivative contracts
EUR 1 billion in gross notional value for OTC equity derivative contracts
EUR 3 billion in gross notional value for OTC interest rate derivative
contracts
EUR 3 billion in gross notional value for OTC foreign exchange derivative
contracts
EUR 3 billion in gross notional value for OTC commodity derivative contracts
and other OTC derivative contracts not defined under points (a) to (d)
Derivative transactions entered into for hedging or risk reduction purposes
will not be counted for the calculation of the thresholds. In calculating
the positions above, the NFC will need to include all non-hedging OTC
derivative contracts entered into by other non-financial entities across the
group, producing a single calculation and status for all NFCs within the
g roup.
If a threshold is breached by a client in any one category, a client will
become an NFC+ for all categories of derivatives. The threshold will be
measured on a rolling average basis over 30 working days.
EFTA01418616
NFC-
An NFC which has not breached such thresholds will be an "NFC-".
