SUP 17.6.7R

If a firm (other than an investment management firm or a personal investment firm) effects a series of transactions within a 24 hour period which is an exact replica of any of the following indices (known as a 'basket trade'), it may report them as a single transaction under a single approved security code:

    DAX 30; or

  3. (3)

    LSE/Nikkei 50; or

SUP 17.6.8G

The 'single approved security code' referred to in SUP 17.6.7 and SUP 17.6.9 is the code issued by the relevant exchange or numbering agency.

SUP 17.6.9R

If a firm (other than an investment management firm or a personal investment firm) effects a series of transactions within a 24 hour period which does not exactly replicate one of the indices listed in SUP 17.6.7, it may make a transaction report for them showing:

  1. (1)

    a single basket trade transaction under a single approved security code; and

  2. (2)

    the missing constituents of the relevant index, as reverse trades, with the price and quantity set according to their weighting in the index.

SUP 17.6.10G

A firm which effects a series of transactions to which SUP 17.6.9 applies may report them as individual transactions, rather than under that rule.
