    2. (b)

      the order is of a size bigger than the size customarily undertaken by a retail investor; or

For the purposes of the fifth sub-paragraph of Article 27(3) of [the MiFID] Directive 2004/39/EC, execution in several securities shall be regarded as part of one transaction if that one transaction is a portfolio trade that involves 10 or more securities.
