ASIC-FIX Adopted for Short Position Reporting

FIX welcomes the Australian Securities & Investments Commission (ASIC™s) adoption of the FIX Protocol messaging standard for the reporting of short positions. Use of FIX enables market participants to benefit from significant cost savings and efficiency gains and ASIC’s move to select the protocol is yet another example of the growing level of interest by regulators and trading venues globally to chose standardised practices.
