      [ESMA 35-43-349 MiFID II Q&As on Investor protection Ch. 8, question 8]

      Under Article 62(2) the MiFID II Delegated Regulation, investment firms should have the possibility to agree with their clients on the possibility to assess the 10 % depreciation on a aggregated basis, for example: 

      • on the overall value of the portfolio, as required under Article 62(1) the MiFID II Delegated Regulation; 
      • on the global value of all leveraged financial instruments or contingent liability transactions in the client’s portfolio. 

      In any case, the client should give his/her express consent to assess the 10% depreciation on an aggregated basis and the client should have the capacity to terminate it at any time.
