NEW Competitive Liquidity Incentive Program
MX is pleased to announce a new Competitive Liquidity Incentive Program (CLIP) for key products in the Yield Curve Project, namely the Two- (CGZ) and Five-Year (CGF) Government of Canada Bond Futures and the Three-Month Canadian Bankers Acceptance (BAX) Futures third quarter pack (greens).
The CLIP is a program that allows participants in the Liquidity Provider Rebate Program (LPRP) to receive cash stipends when their monthly trading volume ranks in the top 10. Furthermore, these participants will receive a fee rebate equivalent to the execution fees incurred for the month in question on the eligible futures contracts.

Any cash stipends or fee credits earned through the CLIP will be in addition to the fee rebates provided through the LPRP.
Trading volumes will be tracked through whichever sub-account(s) each participant has registered under the LPRP.
Duration of the CLIP
The CLIP will run from January 1, 2013 to December 31, 2013.
