Securities and Futures (Margin Requirements for Exempt Financial Institutions) Regulations
The Monetary Authority of Singapore issued these regulations to establish margin requirements for contracts for differences and spot foreign exchange contracts used in leveraged trading by exempt financial institutions. The rules apply specifically to exempt capital markets services entities, including banks, merchant banks, and finance companies. These requirements were finalized following consultations on enhancing protections for retail investors through higher margins and improved disclosures for over-the-counter margined derivatives.
