Are your calculations carried out in each asset class separately?

 

 

 

 

 

If you have marked "no" in the table above, you are at risk of non-compliance. EMIR requires the positions' calculations versus clearing thresholds to be made in each asset class separately.

Answer

If you have inserted "yes" in any of the above fields it may mean (provided other conditions are fulfilled) that you must clear all your OTC derivatives positions with the CCP.

Pursuant to the EMIR rules, the clearing obligation applies to all OTC derivatives contracts concluded after the clearing threshold was exceeded, irrespective of the asset class to which these OTC derivative contracts belong to.
