BPOT for Intermediary Clients

NZX has made amendments to the Self-Match Prevention Practice Note (Practice Note) and Trading Conduct Guidance Note (Guidance Note) to explain how booking purposes only transaction (BPOT) functionality may be used where a Participant is trading for an Approved BPOT Client who is an intermediary trading on behalf of the same underlying client. Conformance amendments have also been made to the Guidance Note to reflect current conduct expectations contained in the Practice Note.

The mark-ups of the Practice Note and Guidance Note are available below:

• Practice Note - Self-Match Prevention

These amendments will become effective on Tuesday, 28 April 2026.
