Great observations from The Hon Dr Jim Chalmers MP and The Hon Stephen Jones MP on our licensing: “A new provider of clearing and settlement services has emerged… Clearing and settlement services are critical to the functioning and stability of financial markets and our changes made it possible for more providers to emerge. The legislation which passed late last year created a framework for fair, transparent and non‑discriminatory access to market infrastructure for competitors, allowing them to offer their own clearing and settlement services, and that’s what’s happening.”

Private markets are opening to Aus investors at scale for the first time - with liquidity. Colonial First State's Kelly Power is the latest to see the huge opportunity in giving investors and advisers access to the fertile plains of private markets - and to rightly note that access has hitherto been obstructed by a lack of tech. Tokenisation has a major part to play, facilitating easier access. And you don't have to go to the US - we've cracked the code right here at FCX. As Cliona O'Dowd has put it for The Australian, "The potential for higher returns, as well as the diversification benefits and improved liquidity options" give private markets great appeal.

FCX reposted this
"Some private company operators are not racing to public markets…Canva a case in point. The $US26bn company raised $US1.5bn earlier this year, which helped early investors and staff cash in on their shares." This is a story we will hear replayed many more times over coming years. It is all very well to ’stay private longer’ – that’s certainly a dynamic we subscribe to – but companies and funds need a mechanism to realise value. This mechanism needs to be within 'regulated rails’ and operated by trusted counterparts, particularly given the size and complexity of transactions like this Canva trade. Unlike public listed markets, private companies have had no infrastructure to support them. Until now, transactions have been arranged in the shadows of a grey zone of the Corps Act. That is all about to change with FCX FCX has been built from the ground up to provide more efficient infrastructure than even the public markets we support. In addition we have worked with regulators for over two years to fill the gap in the Corps Act and provide the regulatory rails that will give companies and funds the confidence to transact at scale.

Aussies are increasingly looking for international opportunities - but from the end of May that means contending with single-day settlement cycles at odds with Australia's T+2. Ord Minnett are ready, using FinClear capabilities. "This means our advisers and their clients can trade global markets with confidence their transactions will be settled on-time. FinClear’s approach to reducing settlement cycles and associated risks through its core clearing capability is a plus for our business.” explained Karl Morris.
📆 13 days until US & Canada move to a single day settlement cycle. We are pleased to share that Ord Minnett will leverage FinClear's services for FX & international payments to offer clients competitive rates with same-day payment capabilities. This matters more than ever as Aussie investors look for international diversification, driven by a shrinking ASX and burgeoning US markets (now accounting for 60.5% of the global equity market).
