Online reference guide to the local market rules for the trading, clearing and settlement globally (over 100 worldwide)
Securities Market Profiles provide a full overview of the market including structural and settlement process diagrams
These are a guide to the local markets’ rules, regulations, systems and procedures for the trading, clearing and settlement of securities and include structural diagrams on how the markets operate. We currently maintain guides on over 100 markets worldwide. The profiles are supported by our intraday news flashes notifying you of any confirmed changes.
The increasing level of detail found in the guide each year is the result of our ongoing research efforts, market visits, and further investigation assisted by our extensive local support arrangements. Throughout the year, Thomas Murray continuously monitors market conditions and updates the profiles on-line to keep them current.
