When an Authorised FirmG publishes Investment ResearchG , it must take reasonable steps to ensure that the Investment ResearchG :
(a) clearly identifies the types of ClientsG for whom it is principally intended;
(b) distinguishes fact from opinion or estimates, and includes references to sources of data and any assumptions used;
(c) specifies the date when it was first published;
(d) specifies the period the ratings or recommendations are intended to cover;
(e) contains a clear and unambiguous explanation of the rating or recommendation system used;
(f) includes a distribution of the different ratings or recommendations, in percentage terms:
(i) for all InvestmentsG ;
(ii) for InvestmentsG in each sector covered; and
(g) if intended for use only by a Professional ClientG or Market CounterpartyG , contains a clear warning that it should not be relied upon by or distributed to Retail ClientsG .
