Draft Securities Industry (Contracts for Differences) (Amendment) Rules, 2026
The draft rules amend the Securities Industry (Contracts for Differences) Rules, 2020 to impose a regulatory capital minimum of one million dollars on CFD firms, with higher amounts required if calculated under the Securities Industry (Financial Resources) Rules, 2026. The amendments require CFD firms to develop and submit a minimum margin requirement policy for retail clients to the Commission for approval, while explicitly excluding professional clients from these minimum margin requirements. Registered CFD firms must submit the new policy and comply with the amended capital rules within ninety days of the rules coming into operation.
