IT – INET Nordic – Closing Auction and Indicative Close Price for Exchange Traded Funds (112/14)

Nasdaq Nordic is planning to introduce a Closing Auction for Exchange Traded Funds (ETFs) on Nasdaq Helsinki and Nasdaq Stockholm. An Indicative close price (ICP) calculation is planned to be added for Exchange Traded Funds in coordination with the launch of the Closing Auction. Current Auction Safeguards in place on Nasdaq Stockholm in the Opening Auction will be applied also to the Stockholm ETF Closing Auction.

The introduction of the Closing Auction for ETFs is based on requests from Issuers, Market Makers and Liquidity Providers as a measure to improve price information. As closing prices are currently based on the last traded value, the last traded price can deviate greatly from the Net Asset Value/current price levels, especially in less liquid ETFs. Nasdaq Nordic will keep the closing price process for ETFs unchanged but will complement this process by taking into use the IndicativeClosePrice (ICP) field. This field will contain the auction price and where the auction price is unavailable, a calculated Indicative close price.

Closing Auction is planned to be used in production from Q2 2015 (production date, dependent on the Genium Consolidated Feed (GCF) 3.0 release, to be confirmed in a later notice) and is planned to be available for testing in INET OTF and GCF test environment as of March 9, 2015. The Indicative close price will be available in production at the same time as the Closing Auction and is planned to be available for testing in GCF test environment as of March 9, 2015. The GCF test environment details will be communicated in a later notice.
