Question

A single derivative (with a single derivative ID code) is traded/sold (e.g. options) partially at different points in time. In our opinion this leads to different maturity dates for a single derivative id code.But the combination of a single id code with varying maturity dates is not allowed by the filing rules.

Answer

In our view if a derivative is traded at different dates but with the same characteristics, it is the same derivative and has the same ID code. However, if the maturity date is not the same, as for the example given for options, it means that the derivatives have different expiry dates (and possibly different strike prices) which then makes them different derivatives, with different ID codes.
