PRICING NOTICE: Renaming Coverage Notes as Pricing Notices

March 31, 2021

To align our terminology with other parts of the Fastmarkets business, Fastmarkets RISI, Fastmarkets FOEX and Random Lengths will rename our “Coverage Notes” as “Pricing Notices” with effect from March 31, 2021.

Historical notes will still contain the term “Coverage Notes,” however, future notes will be labelled “Pricing Notice” and the relevant section on our websites will also switch to using this term.

For comments or queries, please email pricing.risi@fastmarkets.com.

For other Fastmarkets RISI coverage notes please see here.
