GB/T 35964-2018 Securities and Related Financial Instruments Classification of Financial Instruments (CFI Code) GB/T35964-2018 |tt||Standard compression package decompression password: www.bzxz.net
This standard specifies the classification, coding and definition of financial instruments. The classification and coding system can be applied to the current international financial system. The classification principles of financial instruments in this standard can be applied to the classification of financial instruments for international transactions as well as to the classification of financial instruments within each country. The term "financial instruments" includes not only traditional securities, but also innovative financial products that have appeared in different markets in recent years (and the trend of financial instrument innovation will continue in the future). ?This standard is formulated for the practical application of international securities industry supervision and trading. So far, the supervision and trading of securities in various countries around the world have been carried out independently and have no impact outside their own country. Therefore, the application of this standard is also decided by the relevant institutions of each country, such as stock exchanges, banks, brokers, regulatory agencies and other relevant securities institutions. In principle, the CFI code itself reflects the characteristics of the issued financial instrument during its unchanged period. However, certain changes can also lead to the reassignment of new CFI codes to the originally intended financial instruments, such as changes in voting rights or ownership of shareholder meeting resolutions.

GB/T35964—2018/ISO10962:2015 Introduction
The Classification of Financial Instruments (CFI) codes were developed to address many issues of concern to the financial industry. With the growth of cross-border transactions, the need to improve information exchange between market participants has become urgent. Many of the core problems in the securities industry can be traced back to the lack of information accessibility related to securities, which is primarily due to the lack of a consistent and unified approach to classifying financial instruments. The explosive growth of innovative financial instruments over the past two decades has led to a growing problem of information exchange.
Many market participants use the same terminology to describe financial instruments with significantly different characteristics. This problem is compounded when market participants trade across borders. They often encounter different terms used to describe financial instruments in other countries than in their own country. When terms are used in different languages, market participants may encounter the same term used to describe different financial instruments due to translation problems, which can also be misleading. In addition, differences in the way that dealers and domestic market participants structure financial instruments can confuse foreign market participants. Of course, careful analysis will usually reveal that many characteristics of financial instruments in other countries are similar to those of domestic instruments, but in reality most market participants do not have the time and resources to complete such a detailed analysis. Another problem faced by market participants is the lack of a unified approach to classifying securities products. Market participants often have separate analytical reports on their holdings from different sources that classify the same financial instrument in different categories. This not only affects readers when comparing financial instruments, but also creates credit issues. When it is necessary to measure the performance of financial instruments, holders need a suitable and unified classification method to obtain true comparison results. The solution mainly has two aspects: on the one hand, by establishing a series of category codes, financial instruments with similar characteristics are clearly divided; on the other hand, a vocabulary of financial instrument terms and their common interpretations are formulated so that market participants can easily understand the financial instrument terms and meanings used.
The adoption of CFI coding will bring the following benefits:
The formulation of CFI coding will improve the efficiency, reliability, consistency and transparency of financial service transactions in the market. The use of a consistent and structured standard classification method for the classification of financial instruments is conducive to meeting the requirements of regulatory reporting; the code collection provided by the CFI coding system can be applied to all market participants in the electronic data environment for electronic communication. For example, asset portfolio holders use the same classification system when reading analytical reports from different sources. The group has a higher credibility when compared with financial instruments with the same attributes; the expansion of the scope and coverage of CFI codes also encourages market participants to use other international standards, especially the International Securities Identification Number (ISIN):
CFI codes will improve the ability to interpret the characteristics and classification of financial instruments, help guide investors to better understand the financial instruments they invest in, and help activate the market and improve market liquidity. More importantly, these codes will be displayed on the website using network technology, which is beneficial to the development of Internet issuance, Internet trading and Internet settlement. IV

GB/T35964—2018/ISO10962:2015 Securities and Related Financial Instruments Classification of Financial Instruments (CFI Code)
This standard specifies the classification and definition of financial instruments, and the classification and coding system can be applied to the current international financial system. The classification principles of financial instruments in this standard can be applied to the classification of financial instruments traded internationally as well as to the classification of financial instruments within each country. The term "financial instruments" not only includes traditional securities, but also innovative financial products that have appeared in different markets in recent years (and the trend of financial instrument innovation will continue in the future). This standard is formulated for practical application in the regulation and trading of the international securities industry. Until now, the regulation and trading of securities in various countries around the world have been carried out independently and have no impact outside their own country. Therefore, the application of this standard is also determined by the relevant institutions in each country, such as national stock exchanges, banks, brokers, regulators and other relevant securities institutions. In principle, the CFI code itself reflects the characteristics defined by the issued financial instrument during its unchanged period. However, certain changes can also lead to the reassignment of new CFI codes to the originally intended financial instruments. These changes include changes in voting rights or ownership of shareholder meeting resolutions.
2 Normative references
The following documents are indispensable for the application of this document. For dated references, only the dated version applies to this document. For undated references, the latest version (including all amendments) applies to this document. ISO 4217 Code for the presentation of currencies and funds ISO 6166 Securities and related financial instruments International securities identification numbering system (ISIN) 3 Principles and regulations
3.1 While maintaining the controllability of the code, the CFI code provides the most detailed description of the financial instrument as possible. An important principle in the definition of the CFI code is to classify the product according to the essential characteristics of the corresponding financial instrument rather than according to the name or terminology commonly used in a particular country, because the name or terminology commonly used in a particular country may refer to something else in other countries. This principle avoids confusion and duplication caused by using different languages ​​to describe financial instruments, while allowing objective comparison of financial instruments between markets in different countries.
3.2CFI code consists of 6 letters. Letters A, B, C, D, EFG, HIJ, K, L, M, NO, PQ, RS, T, U, V, WX, Y, Z are available for allocation. The following two letters have special meanings and cannot be redefined: X Not applicable/ambiguous: For unknown information, the allocation code is not applicable at that time, and the letter "X" is used to indicate it: M Other categories (mixed).
The meaning of each letter is only valid in the category or group to which it belongs. 3.3 The first letter represents the highest level of distinction between categories and types, such as equity, collective investment instruments, debt instruments, etc. 3.4 The second letter represents the specific sub-group under each category, such as the "Equity" category is further subdivided into: - Ordinary/general stock;
- Preferred/preferential stock;

- Convertible preferred/preferential stock;
- Limited partnership share;
- Equity depositary receipts:
Structured financial instruments (participatory);
Other categories (hybrid).
In the category of "bond instruments", there are further groups of specific product types such as "plain vanilla bonds", "convertible bonds", "bonds with warrants", "medium-term notes", "money market instruments", "structured instruments (capital protection)", "structured instruments (non-capital protection)", "mortgage bonds", "asset-backed bonds", "municipal bonds", "depositary receipts of debt instruments", and "other types (hybrid)". For a complete classification of each level, see Chapter 5. 3.5 The last four letters show the most relevant attributes applicable to each grouping. Voting rights, ownership/transfer/sale restrictions, payment status and form are useful information for equity, but these characteristics do not exist in options, which contain other attributes such as option type, underlying asset, delivery method, standard/non-standard or trigger conditions. 4 Assignment of CFI codes
4.1 Overview
The principles for assigning CFI codes follow the principles and regulations of Chapter 3. When a financial instrument is defined using ISO6166, the corresponding ISIN code assignment agency will also assign a CFI code to this financial instrument. This CFI code is regarded as the official CFI code. For financial instruments that do not have an assigned ISIN code, the CFI code can be derived by the user in accordance with this standard. CFI codes should be assigned in a timely manner to meet the needs of the user group. Note: See Appendix A for examples of CFI codes for international financial instruments and Appendix NA2 for examples of CFI codes for domestic financial instruments. 4.2 Existing CFI codes and financial products without assigned CFI codes.
Existing and valid CFI codes assigned according to earlier versions should be converted according to the latest version of the rules. Financial instruments that are currently without assigned CFI codes should be assigned according to the latest version of the rules. 5 Coding and Definition
