A financial liability is classified as held for trading if: (a) it is acquired or incurred principally for the purpose of selling or repurchasing it in the near term; (b) on initial recognition it is part of a portfolio of identified financial instruments that are managed together and for which there is evidence of a recent actual pattern of short-term profit-taking; or (c) it is a derivative (except for a derivative that is a financial guarantee contract or a designated and effective hedging instrument).
