Derivative /dɪˈrɪvətɪv/ (n.)
A financial instrument, feared in Nebraska as some kind of WMD, in the cradle of the Levant as a sort of Godless gambling contract, amongst commodity producers of the Midwest (other than that one fellow in Omaha) as a legitimate hedging activity, and for legions of patient negotiators in London, New York, Hong Kong and the thriving satellite constellation of low-cost jurisdictions from Bangalore to Nashville, a steady, dreary, unglamorous means of keeping home fires stoked and food upon the table.

Could be a swap[1], an option or a future.

Not, and especially not now, in light of the fabulous parallel regulation of the Securities Financing Transactions Regulation, a stock loan or a repo.

MiFID definition of derivative comes from the latter half (items (4) - (10)) of the definition of “Financial Instruments” set out in Section C of Annex I to MiFID as follows:

  1. Also, fondly, known as a sw-ŏp, but never a sw-æp. Swaps aren’t, and don’t rhyme with, crap.
  2. That’s MiFID and not MiFID II to its friends — even though MiFID II has updated somewhat the Section C of Annex I to include emissions certificates.
