De minimis contracts which must be aggregated
A consistent application of UK RTS 21 must be applied by position holders to those contracts which fall into the de minimis regime which applies to new and illiquid contracts that do not reach a minimum level of open interest over a consecutive 3-month period. It is necessary to aggregate together positions in those contracts in the same manner as those on which a position limit has been set in the table for bespoke contracts.
The table below lists the de minimis contracts which should be aggregated together for the purpose of calculating a person’s position and determining whether the de minimis limit of 2,500 lots is complied with.
