The FISN – Financial Instrument Short Name code has been developed to provide a consistent and uniform approach to standardize short descriptions for financial instruments. It aims to harmonize the existing market practices that are in use on a national and individual entity level.
The FISN incorporates the issuer short name and the abbreviated characteristics for the security / financial instrument.
The FISN has a maximum length of 35 alphanumeric characters.
Rules and Guidelines (developed by ANNA-Association of National Numbering Agencies) are provided to specify both the characteristics of the securities / financial instruments and the sequence of information.
Example of a FISN Code (for a warrant):
| XXXXX | / | P | WT | XXXX | 9,99 | AAAAMMDD |
