ASX is amending ASX Operating Rules Procedure 10A.3.3 (the “Procedure”) to include the Bloomberg AusBond Master 0+ Yr Index (“Index”) as a specified index. The amendment facilitates admission of proposed AQUA Products where the capital value or distributions of the proposed AQUA Product are linked to underlying instruments which are debentures or bonds included in the Index.
The Bloomberg AusBond Composite Bond Index which is an existing ‘specified index’ in the Procedure is a sub-index of the Index. Bloomberg have advised that all securities of the Bloomberg AusBond Composite Bond Index are included in the Index. To avoid duplication the Bloomberg AusBond Composite Bond Index is being deleted from the Procedure and replaced with the Index.
The amendments will take effect on 17 May 2017.
