IT – INET Nordic – Reminder: Reclassification of Danish Investment Funds to Exchange Traded Funds (48/18)

As previously communicated in IT notice 42/18 , Nasdaq Copenhagen will reclassify the Danish Investment Funds (UCITS Funds) traded on XCSE to follow the transparency rules set for Exchange Traded Funds (ETF). This change is regulatory driven as MiFID II regulation classifies Investment funds having a market maker as ETFs from the transparency perspective. 

In order to comply with the new classification, the Investment Funds having a market maker falls under MiFIR identification “ETFS” instead of “OTHR”, which is applied currently for the affected instruments. Furthermore, part of the Alternative Investment Funds (AIF) will be classified as shares and hence falls under MiFIR identification “SHRS”. Investment Funds and AIFs which do not have a market maker will continue to have MiFIR identification “OTHR”. Investment Funds and AIFs with MiFIR ID “OTHR” are excluded from transparency regulatory reporting set by the MiFID II regulation. A list of Investment Funds with changed/unchanged MiFIR identification classification is in the attached spreadsheet.

In order to group the reclassified Investment Funds according to new classification, two new Market Segments with new respective turnover lists/list populations will be introduced. Additionally, new trading schedule and a new MiFID compliant tick size table will be introduced for the Investment Funds classified as ETFs. Please find the new identifiers with explanations below.
