Membership

Get Started with ACM

The membership structure at ACM gives market participants the option of choosing the membership that best suits their business and operational needs.

Exchange Membership provides market participants with access to trade on ACM without becoming a direct Clearing Member. Through a range of membership categories, participants may undertake brokerage or proprietary trading activities while clearing and settlement are conducted through an approved Clearing Member.

Exchange Members are authorised to participate in trading activities on ACM but are not permitted to clear or settle transactions directly with Asia Commodity Clearing House (ACCH). All clearing and settlement obligations are conducted through an approved Clearing Member in accordance with the applicable ACM and ACCH Rules.

Exchange Membership comprises several membership categories, each with its own rights, responsibilities, and operational functions under the applicable ACM and ACCH Rules. Depending on the membership category, Exchange Members may conduct brokerage activities, onboard third parties, or undertake proprietary trading.
