21.42 2 |
G |
BIPRU 7.4.22 R (1)(b) says that a firm should treat positions in different grades or brands of the same commodity-class as different commodities unless they are close substitutes and have price movements which have exhibited a stable correlation coefficient of at least 0.9 over the last 12 months. BIPRU 7.4.23 R says that a firm should notify theFCA2 in writing at least 20 business days prior to the date the firm starts relying on this treatment. The purpose of this section is to allow a notice given under the corresponding provisions of chapter 10 of IPRU(INV) to continue to have effect without the firm having to serve a new notice under BIPRU 7.4.23 R. 22 |
