Following the publication by ESMA of the first double volume cap calculations under the Markets in Financial Instruments Regulation (MiFID), UBS MTF will implement a six-month suspension of the Reference Price Waiver ('RPW') for a number of instruments effective from start of trading, Monday March 12.
Instruments subject to the RPW suspension will be flagged as 'Capped' in the UBS MTF reference data files published daily by SFTP and at https://mtf.ubs.com/referencedata/symbols.csv.
In order to facilitate members' preparation for this change, UBS MTF will publish an updated reference data file at these locations at 17:00 Friday March 10.
