ASX Market Rules

ASX operates a market for securities and derivatives and fixed interest securities issued by listed companies. It is the holder of an Australian market licence under the Corporations Act.

To protect the integrity of its market, ASX has standards for the behaviour of Market and Trading participants through its Market Rules.  ASX Compliance Services section makes day-to-day decisions about the application of the ASX Market Rules.  Guidance notes are also published to assist participants and their advisers to understand how certain Market Rules and procedures operate.

The Market Rules are not just binding contractually.  They are enforceable against participants under the Corporations Act.  The Market Rules create obligations that are additional, and complementary, to common law obligations and statutory obligations.
