Market making

Market makers play an important role in ensuring that buyers and sellers of an ETP can transact at prices close to the net asset value (NAV) of the ETP. They provide liquidity to the market by providing quotes (bids and offers) through the trading day and frequently update their quotes to reflect changes in the NAV of the ETP.

ASX offers a market making incentive scheme to help promote tighter spreads and more liquidity in ETP markets. Participants in that scheme receive incentives equivalent to the trading fees they would otherwise pay to ASX if they achieve the minimum quoting benchmarks prescribed by ASX on a monthly basis. Each ETP is assigned a spread and liquidity requirement, as set out in the table below.

ASX does not incentivise internal market making arrangements. ETPs that use internal market making are generally noted with “N/A” in the table below. For specific information about the risks associated with internal market making, click here.

ASX has also determined that certain ETPs have sufficient natural liquidity and therefore do not need to be supported by ASX by way of a rebate of trading fees in those products. These ETPs have been designated "mature" by ASX and are marked as such below. While ASX does not provide a trading fee rebate in these ETPs, Market Makers are recognised in these products where they meet the minimum quoting benchmarks assigned below. Satisfying these criteria distinguishes Market Makers from other proprietary traders.

ASX reviews the ETPs it has identified as "mature" on an annual basis and takes into account the ETP's average traded value over the year, average bid/ask spread, funds under management, years of operation and the participants active in the ETP in determining whether to make the designation.

ASX offers certain market makers technical services rebates in support of their market making activity where they have shown persistent, quality support to the Australian ETP market. These market makers have demonstrated to ASX their support of ETP issuers by providing markets in a wide range of ETPs over a meaningful time period.
