For each foreign currency (that is, any other currency other than that in which the investment firm licensee's financial statements are presented) in which the investment firm licensee has monetary assets or liabilities or any off balance sheet contracts which would give rise to a position in that currency, the investment firm licensee should calculate the net open position (netting assets and liabilities). This should be converted into the presentation currency. Where the price of an investment is quoted in more than one currency, a position in the investment shall be treated as an asset or a liability in the currency of the country in which the main or principal market in the investment is based. (Options included in the position risk requirement are to be excluded from these calculations).
