AI Summary of Article 104 Inclusion in the trading book
This regulation mandates institutions to establish and document clear policies for categorising positions within their trading and non-trading books, in line with specified risk management frameworks. An independent risk control function must continually assess proper assignment of instruments to mitigate risks associated with trading positions.
Certain instruments are explicitly included in the trading book—e.g., those with trading intent or market-making activities. Conversely, positions like unlisted equities, real estate holdings, and certain derivatives are prohibited. Institutions may seek approval from their competent authority for nuanced assignments, underscoring the need for rigorous compliance and justification processes.
