ASX Cash Market Fee Update

Date 17/04/2007

On 11 December 2006 ASX Limited foreshadowed a number of changes to its Cash Market (equities, warrants and interest rate securities) fees. These changes are designed to:
  • address limitations of the current Volume Incentive Plan (VIP) and Supplementary Volume Incentive Plan (SVIP) rebate schemes;
  • share with ASX Participants (“Participants”) some of the merger related benefits by reducing fees;
  • share with Participants the benefits of increased market activity, through a gain sharing process;
  • ensure consistency with the pricing approach adopted in SFE markets by introducing an uncapped rebate pool structure with qualifying thresholds; and
  • retain the existing volume to value relationship which has, with other factors, supported significant growth in direct market access (DMA) and algorithmic trading.
