[ESMA70-145-408 SSR Q&A, Q&A 8.5]
As described above in Q&A 1924, positions are calculated at fund or portfolio level. The positions of funds (or portfolios) which are net short in a particular issuer are then aggregated at the level of the management entity managing these funds (or portfolios). The management entity or another entity on its behalf should report the net short position when a threshold is reached.
The funds having net long position in this particular issuer should not be considered in the aggregation.
No aggregation and netting of the short and long positions of the several management entities constituting the group is required.
