ISO 10962, known as Classification of Financial Instruments (CFI), is a six-letter-code used in the financial services industry to classify and describe the structure and function of a financial instrument (in the form of security or contract) as part of the instrument reference data. It is an international standard approved by the International Organization for Standardization (ISO). CFI have been required since 1 July 2017.

The CFI is attributed to a financial instrument at the time when the financial instrument is issued and when it is allocated an International Securities Identification Number (ISIN) by the respective national numbering agency (NNA). It will normally not change during the life of that instrument.{{Cite web|title=Securities and related financial instruments — Classification of Financial Instruments (CFI code) – [Revision of ISO 10962:2001]|url=http://www.fixprotocol.org/documents/3079/N_635_ISO_CD10962_2006.pdf|access-date=30 July 2013|publisher=FIX Protocol association (FPL)}}{{Dead link|date=January 2020|bot=InternetArchiveBot|fix-attempted=yes}}

Each of the six letters of the CFI represents a specific characteristic of the financial instrument (e.g. ESVUFB is used to describe a typical registered share). Those capital letters are drawn from the ISO basic Latin alphabet. The first letter of the code is the Category: E for Equity (shares and other instruments of that nature), D for Debt (particularly bonds), C for Collective Investment Vehicles, (i.e. investment funds). The subsequent letters define the type of instrument for that category.

The purpose of ISO 10962 is to provide a standard for describing all financial instruments that can be recognized world-wide by all operators and computer systems in the financial markets and banking industries. The Classification of financial instrument Code is used to define and describe financial instruments as a uniform set of codes for all market participants.{{Cite web

The code is issued by the members of [http://www.anna-web.org/standards/cfi-iso-10962 ANNA, the Association of National Numbering Agencies]. The group promotes the structure to increase its use by non-governmental market participants.

History of ISO 10962 Modification

  • Standard was first accepted and published in 1997 as ISO 10962:1997{{cite web |title=ISO 10962:2001 |url=https://www.iso.org/standard/32835.html |website=ISO |access-date=26 April 2019 |language=en}}
  • Its first revision, published in 2001, was ISO 10962:2001{{cite web |title=ISO 10962:2001 |url=https://www.iso.org/standard/32835.html |website=ISO |access-date=26 April 2019 |language=en}}
  • In 2006, FIX Protocol group published a proposal for changes of the standard for Consultation.
  • The last revised and accepted version of the standard is ISO 10962:2015 and was published by ISO in 2015.{{Cite web|url=https://www.iso.org/standard/44799.html|title=ISO 10962:2015|publisher=International Organization for Standardization (ISO)|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20170302082529/https://www.iso.org/standard/44799.html|archive-date=2017-03-02|url-status=dead}}
  • In 2019 a revised version mainly related to OTC derivatives was published and the latest version externalizing the CFI codes was published in 2021.{{cite web |title=ISO/DIS 10962 |url=https://www.iso.org/standard/73564.html |website=ISO |access-date=26 April 2019 |language=en}}

Background and Goals of Introduction

Where distinct entities transact it is seen as helpful to establish a common transaction language. The CFI code is meant to provide the most comprehensive information possible, while at the same time maintaining the code manageability, provides a standard for identification of type of instrument and their main high level characteristics, determined by the intrinsic characteristics of the financial instrument, which would be independent of the individual names or conventions of a given country or financial institution. This principle avoids confusion arising from different linguistic usage as well as redundancy, while allowing an objective comparison of the instruments across markets.

CFI codes also aim to simplify electronic communication between participants, improve understanding of the characteristics of financial instruments for the investors, and allow securities grouping in a consistent manner for reporting and categorization purposes.

Structure of CFI Code

  • The first character indicates the highest level of category of the Security.{{Cite web

  • The second character refers to the groups within each category.
  • The next four characters refer to four attributes, that varies between groups.
  • The letter X always means Not Appl./Undefined.
