Which assets are included in the Central Limit Order Book (CLOB)?

• A. Gold and silver futures
• B. Blue chips, mid- and small cap, secondary listing shares, separate trading lines, investment funds, subscription rights, CHF bonds
• C. Real estate investment trusts only
• D. Derivatives not traded on exchange

Answer: (B)

The Central Limit Order Book holds the live buy and sell orders for assets that are traded on the exchange, covering a broad range of listed instruments. In this context, it includes blue-chip stocks, mid- and small-cap shares, secondary listing shares, orders routed through separate trading lines, investment funds (like ETFs and similar funds), subscription rights, and CHF-denominated bonds. These are all assets that can be bought or sold through the exchange and appear in the order book for matching. Futures such as gold and silver are traded on derivatives markets, not in the equity-focused order book. Real estate investment trusts are not limited to a single category and aren’t the only assets in the book, and derivatives that aren’t traded on the exchange don’t appear in this order book. So the assets listed in the middle—covering a wide range of exchange-traded equities and related products—are the ones included.
