On 28th October 2025, the Australian Securities & Investments Commission (ASIC) announced a proposal to remake the ASIC Derivative Transaction Rules (Clearing) 2015 (the 2015 Rules), which are scheduled to expire on 1 April 2026.
ASIC proposes to remake the 2015 Rules in substantially the same form, except for:
- minor administrative updates to modernise the 2015 Rules, and
- to support post-trade risk reduction exercises, extend exemptive relief to clearing derivative transactions resulting from these exercises, consistent with existing relief in relation to multilateral portfolio compressions.
ASIC also proposes to let transitional relief from the 2015 Rules, in relation to certain swaptions, expire on 1 April 2026.
