ASX also operates clearing and settlement facilities through its Clearing House Electronic Subregister System (CHESS), ensuring the integrity and efficiency of post-trade processes for both domestic and international participants.
Established in 1987 through the merger of six state-based exchanges and demutualized in 1998, ASX has continually invested in market infrastructure and technology. The exchange has introduced electronic trading platforms, advanced market data services and connectivity solutions that support algorithmic and high-frequency trading. In recent years, ASX has pursued innovation in distributed ledger technology, aiming to streamline post-trade workflows and enhance transparency across its markets.
Headquartered in Sydney, ASX serves a broad client base that includes institutional investors, brokers, issuers and retail participants. While its primary market is Australia, ASX maintains a global footprint with offices in Hong Kong, London and New York to support cross-border trading and market data distribution. The exchange is governed by an independent board of directors and led by Chief Executive Officer Dominic Stevens, under whose leadership ASX continues to focus on delivering reliable, secure and accessible market infrastructure.
