derivative assets
Explanation:
These are derivatives reported on the asset side of the balance sheet. For the quick ratio they are probably current derivative assets.

Here is a German webpage showing a definition of the quick ratio (i.e. "Liquidität ersten Grades") with "kurzfristige aktive Derivate" as part of the numerator.
