Effective 10/23/17: VX to SW ticker changes. Deprecation of VX Exchange

The Virt-X Exchange (VX exchange code) was purchased by the SIX Swiss Exchange (SE Exchange code) in 2009. Currently the SE exchange is for small and mid-caps whereas VX is the blue chip segment. To streamline processes and prevent lack of transparency, Bloomberg is deprecating the VX exchange code (currently a separate composite exchange) and migrating all blue chip instruments to the SE local exchange (Under the SW Composite code) on October 23, 2017, since these instruments should be contributing to the SW composite.
