Whenever a new warrant series is approved for trading on Chi-X an announcement is made to the market which attaches the PDS relevant to that warrant series. These are included in the Announcements section of our website. You can also follow the link beside each symbol in the Reference Data section.
Alternatively, the Issuer of the warrant series will have the relevant PDS on their website. You can find links to Issuer websites in our Issuer details section.
You can trade Chi-X quoted warrants through brokers that are Chi-X trading participants. The list of Chi-X trading participants is available in our Trading section which can be accessed from our home page.
Trading and settlement of warrants is very similar on both markets. Settlement will go through CHESS and the warrants are on the register used by the Issuer irrespective of which market the warrants are traded on.
The warrants being traded on each market are different. There might be the same type of warrants for example instalments, MINIs etc., some of the Issuers might be the same and the underlying instruments may be the same but the actual warrant series will be different.
Importantly, each series will have its own market – bids and offers and volume.
Chi-X anticipates that over time, there will be more and more warrants being quoted on its market

Some issuers have different 5th letter symbols on Chi-X. Citiwarrants (CTW) uses “C” as the 5th letter on Chi-X and “O” at ASX. Other issuers use the same letter on both exchanges.
No, you can’t. Warrants quoted and traded by Chi-X are exclusively traded on Chi-X. The same applies to ASX quoted warrants. The simple rule is you have to sell on the market that you bought on.
You will need to have signed a client agreement with your broker and been provided with the Chi-X explanatory booklet.
However if you have already been approved for trading ASX warrants, that approval applies to Chi-X warrants. You do not need to sign another client agreement.
All retail clients need to be provided with a copy of the Chi-X Explanatory Booklet prior to trading. A wholesale client must be provided with a copy of the Chi-X Explanatory Booklet if it is requested.
Each broker has its own client agreement. You should ask your broker for a copy.

The volume visible on screen is not necessarily reflective of the total volume available to buy and sell at a price.

The arrangements between issuers and market makers require liquidity to be maintained so that investors can have confidence that, barring an extraordinary event, reasonable prices may be available for the purpose of liquidating existing positions.
