Update - IT – Genium INET – Nasdaq Nordic intr

Nasdaq Nordic introduces new market segments for instruments classified as Securitized Derivatives on Nasdaq First North. 

Products classified as Securitized Derivatives are anticipated to be transferred to a new segment of Nasdaq First North effective on December 18, 2017.

As communicated earlier in exchange notice December 4, a subset of structured products traded on the fixed income markets of Nasdaq Helsinki and Nasdaq Stockholm in Genium INET are classified as securitized derivatives in accordance with MiFIR and MiFID II. The products in question are leverage certificates such as market warrants. MiFIR stipulates that transactions in securitized derivatives must be cleared by a CCP when traded on a regulated market. As a consequence, the instruments are planned to be transferred to the multilateral trading facility Nasdaq First North, operated by Nasdaq Nordic on December 18, 2017.

Markets will be replicated in External Test Systems with added test specific instruments and be available for testing from December 5, 2017.
