Consultation on a methodology change for the UBS Global Quality Dividend Payers T6 Index ER USD (ticker: MBCIGQ6U)
IHS Markit Benchmark Administration Limited (“IHSMBALâ€) is conducting a 3-week consultation with interested parties on its intention to amend the methodology of the UBS Global Quality Dividend Payers T6 Index ER USD (the “QDI T6 Indexâ€). Consultation will close on 15 August 2019.
Two of the inputs used in the determination of the QDI T6 Index are the UBS 5-Years US Treasuries Index Excess Return USD (ticker: MLTAUS5E) and the UBS Global Quality Dividend Payers Index Long Only Excess Return USD (ticker: MBCIGQEU). Currently unrounded index levels are used for these two inputs. IHSMBAL is proposing to start using index levels at their publication precision instead. Change would be on a going forward basis only, effective on implementation date; there would not be any impact on the past performance of the Index.
To participate in this consultation please respond to IHSMBAL at MK-IndexAdminConsultation@markit.com. Please be advised that all comments will be reviewed and considered before a final decision is made; however, IHSMBAL makes no guarantee and is under no obligation to comply with any of the responses.
An announcement about IHSMBAL final decision will be posted on our website once the consultation is over.
