Vantage Markets review: MMC and CVAC trading changes announced
Vantage Markets has notified clients of upcoming changes to the availability of two U.S.-listed equities on its trading platforms, reflecting broader corporate actions affecting the underlying securities. The broker said the adjustments involve Marsh & McLennan Cos (MMC) and CureVac NV (CVAC), and are intended to ensure orderly trading and alignment with exchange developments.
The updates underscore how corporate restructurings, ticker changes, and mergers can directly impact access to instruments offered by online brokers, requiring traders to adjust positions within defined timelines.
MMC set to close-only ahead of ticker change
According to Vantage Markets, trading in Marsh & McLennan Cos (MMC) will be set to close-only on 7 January 2026. From that date, clients will no longer be able to open new positions in the stock, but will still be permitted to close existing trades. The instrument is scheduled to be fully removed from Vantage’s platforms on 13 January 2026, as the company is expected to undergo a ticker change.
Vantage advised clients holding MMC positions to review their exposure ahead of the close-only date and manage positions accordingly. Such measures are commonly applied by brokers to reduce trading disruptions during corporate actions that may affect pricing, liquidity, or settlement.
CureVac to be removed following BioNTech takeover
In a separate notice, Vantage Markets said that CureVac NV (CVAC) will be removed from its platforms on 8 January 2026. The decision follows expectations that CureVac will be delisted from the exchange as a result of its takeover by BioNTech.
Delistings linked to mergers and acquisitions often result in the cessation of trading for the target company’s shares, prompting brokers to withdraw the instrument in advance. Vantage encouraged traders with open CVAC positions to close or adjust them before the removal date to avoid forced closures or potential complications.
Vantage Markets is a multi-asset broker offering access to equities, forex, indices, commodities, and other instruments through regulated trading environments. The broker said it regularly reviews listed products to ensure they reflect current market conditions and corporate developments.
As a reminder, Vantage Markets previously announced that it would phase out its ProTrader trading platform.
