Trade Transparency
AIX is committed to bringing transparency to the AIX Markets through pre- and post-trade data.
Order Book transactions are reported automatically and disseminated to market immediately. Real time Market Data is displayed at AIX Market Watch.
Off-the-Order Book (OTC) transactions are published at OTC Trade Reporting within one business day after receiving a transaction report from Member. Trades executed away from the Order Book must be reported by the Members via Trade Reporting using a template. For further details please refer to the OTC Transaction Reporting Requirements and/or contact the Market Supervision Team.
Market Making
A Member that intends to act as a Market Maker in Admitted Securities should contact the Market Operations Team to discuss assessment requirements and applicable conditions.
Stock Lending and Borrowing
Securities lending and borrowing (SLB) is available to appointed Market Makers after being authorised by AIX CSD Regulation Team. SLB may also be used to prevent settlement failures. The SLB Programme is governed by the industry-standard Global Market Securities Lending Agreement (GMSLA) or any other agreement accepted by AIX CSD. Market makers entering into a valid GMSLA with an authorised lender will be allowed to perform covered short selling.
For further details please refer to the SLB Procedures and/or contact the SLB Team.
