EIOPA CIC codes

Yes, "CIC codes" sounds wrong, but so is downloading an excel spreadsheet every time you want to do a quick lookup.

So, without further ado, please find your (complementary) Complementary Identification Code codes!




What is a CIC code?

For the fully bewildered, CIC's were introduced by EIOPA for classifying financial instruments according to asset type.  A CIC is a 4 digit code, the first two representing the country, and the third and fourth representing the category & sub category.

This information drives the split of assets across QRTs, for instance CIC's 0-9 are listed in S.06.02 and CIC's A-F are listed in S.08.01.
