CHESS - SETTLEMENT OF TRADES BY BROKER PARTICIPANTS

 

NSX and CHESS

NSX has established a Transfer Service agreement between NSX and ASX CHESS.  This agreement recognises the NSX as a Australian Market Licencee pursuant to ASX Settlement Operating Rue 4.1A and allows NSX to be a recipient of the Transfer Service provided by ASX.  This also means that NSX is a Recognised Market Operator under ASX Settlement Operating Rules and as such complies with the conditions set out in ASX Settlement Rule 4.3.13.

Broker participant requirements

It is a requirement that a broker participant settle trades via CHESS.  Settlement can be arranged by direct participation in CHESS, or via an approved agent.  Please feel free to discuss your options with NSX to ascertain the best solution for your needs.

NSX allocates a CHESS PID to each broker participant which is unique and is used to settle trades on your behalf.
