Frequently asked questions

Kazakhstan's stock market is still quite young compared to the U.S. or European markets. It is difficult to compare it with large global developed markets such as Forex. If we consider the history of the development of markets, the volume and quantity of instruments offered, it is obvious that not so many of them are traded here in Kazakhstan. Liquidity is quite low and there are some regulatory restrictions inherent in emerging markets.

Individuals and legal entities can trade on the stock market and on the derivatives market of KASE via Internet using STrade, a software product for the stock market. Besides, there are other systems provided by brokers - members of the Exchange.

STrade is a trading terminal through which the clients of a broker, who is a member of KASE, can submit client orders to buy or sell financial instruments traded on KASE via Internet.

Yes, it is possible. At the same time KASE's risk management system and default regulating procedures are in place to minimize implications of such failure to deliver. In any case trade participant, claiming non-delivered assets will receive cash equivalent of the expected assets, that can be composed of margin contributions and guarantee payments of the default trade participant, as well as financed by the Stock Exchange reserve fund that is created specifically to cover obligations of the defaulting trade participants.

Shares included in KASE index.
Existing KASE trade system. At the moment it is being modified to support new T+2 scheme.
Commission and clearing fees for transactions with securities under T+2 scheme are written-off in the same manner as commission and clearing fees for transactions with securities under T+0 scheme, i.e. monthly based on the invoices provided by KASE under established procedure.
No, assets are accumulated on same trade participant's account. That is trade participant has single position to account for assets related to T+0 as well as T+2 scheme transactions.
Settlement day for T+2 is second working day after the transaction conclusion day. For example, if transaction is concluded on Friday, then settlement day is Tuesday next week. At the same time, if Monday is non-working day, then settlement day is shifted from Tuesday to Wednesday.
Any order for securities transaction submitted in KASE trade system should be at minimum prefunded by initial margin calculated using margin rate applicable to the security that is subject of the said order. At the same time sell order may be fully prefunded by securities, where number of securities should correspond to the total number of such securities indicated in the order.
No, they cannot. All orders to execute opening transactions on repo netting market should be fully prefunded. The reason is that settlement of opening transactions is done on transaction conclusion date.
Transition period will last no less than 30 calendar days. Starting date of the transition period will be announced separately.
No, they will not be used.
Trade participant committing a default on the obligations under concluded transactions will be recognized as a default participant and will have to pay a forfeit in form of a fine calculated as 0.1 % of the underperformed obligations per day, multiplied by number of days used to settle the obligation.
Yes, it is possible. In this case the portion of the obligation not settled on T+2 day will be settled in the consecutive days using default regulating procedure and applying applicable forfeits.
No.
Margin is composed of initial one and supported one. Initial margin rates are set depending on the securities volatility, so that the lower the security's volatility the lower are the margin rates on that security. Supported margin is fixed and equal to 80% of initial margin requirement. Initial margin rates are set using internal methodology used by Stock Exchange to calculate the risk parameters and are available to the trade participants in the trading system. For example, if the initial margin rate is 15% and the price of a share is 1000, then the initial margin requirement equals to 150 and the supported margin requirement – 120. If however, the price of the share went up next day to 1050, then the initial margin requirement calculated with the same rate equals to 157.5 and the supported margin requirement – 126. This difference of 6 (126-120) provides grounds for a margin call and in order to fulfill this margin call the participant should pay-in 6 to his margin account in order restore the balance of the initial margin to the necessary level.
Yes, this opportunity exists. Repo operations on repo netting market, that will be launched approximately at the same time with the T+2 scheme trading, is designed to allow trade participants to obtain assets required for settlement at acceptable rates with the transfer of ownership on repo operation security from seller to buyer and with the settlement of the opening transactions on the transaction conclusion day (T+0). Settlements on the closing transactions are in turn settled on the T+1 day, which allows to perform transfer of positions. Results of repo opening and closing transactions are included in general netting together with the results of trade transactions concluded based on T+2 scheme.
They can, however this is allowed only if these are sell orders or orders to conclude repo opening transactions on repo netting transactions market. In both cases prefund amount is equal 100% of transaction amount.
Collateral is calculated using margin rate multiplied by maximum planned position amount in absolute expression - sell or buy, if this is not equal zero, then the collateral would not be equal zero.
Yes, margin rates are reassessed. Margin rates for securities are calculated taking into account volatility of the specific securities and are set in the trade system once per day before trades are open. Depending on changes in securities volatility margin rates will be reassessed and updated rates published.
Collateral is taken into account. For example, if margin rate is 10%, then on the settlement day you need to provide the appropriate account at Central depository with the remaining 90% to settle the obligations.
Yes.

Using T+2 scheme Kazakhstan Stock Exchange trade participants are getting an opportunity to exercise securities transactions using partial prefunding and making final payment for obligations derived from these transactions on the second day following the transaction date. This opportunity will allow not only to reduce transaction costs of the participants, but also to facilitate better managing of their assets during several working days before the settlement date. Generally T+2 is considered a standard scheme in the international markets and is fully compliant with the requirements of the International Organization of Securities Commissions, IOSCO, based on which the maximum period between the date of transaction conclusion and the date of settlement should not exceed three days. Advantages of T+2 scheme over T+0 scheme are: first, future transaction obligations can be financed partially instead of full financing; second, T+2 scheme that is new for our trade participants, is conventional for international trade participants and their clients. As such T+2 scheme is intended to increase liquidity of shares traded under this regime both via increased participation from Kazakhstan trade participants and via attracting international trade participants.

Yes, in addition to current commission fee, a clearing fee will be charged on the transactions with securities made according to T+2 settlement scheme. The rate of the clearing fee will be 0.001% of the transaction amount, which is payable by each party of the transaction.

Assets (securities and money) of trading participants recorded in relevant accounts in the Central Securities Depository, which acts as a settlement organization on the stock market that operates under the T+2 settlement cycle, will be used not only to pay for obligations arising from concluded transactions, but also to ensure future transactions. Therefore, participants’ ability to withdraw assets will depend on the adequacy of required assets on the accounts of these participants. It will be possible to withdraw only that part of assets that makes up the difference between the total amount (number) of assets on a separate account and the amount (number) of the assets blocked as collateral for transactions, including future transactions. In any case, each asset withdrawal request submitted by a participant to the Central Depository will be redirected to the Exchange, and only if the asset adequacy is successfully verified, the participant will be allowed to withdraw the assets.

The positions generated as a result of submission of orders and conclusion of transactions, which actually represent the number of securities (the amount of money) accounted for at the trading account ( money account) of the trading participant, are recorded in the section of each trading account in the Exchange’s trading system. Such accounting is done automatically in the trading system. Orders submitted to the trading system form a planned position, the deals concluded form current (open) position and have an impact on the change of the planned position.

The settlements on transactions with securities concluded according to T+2 settlement scheme are conducted by the Central Depository on the T+2 day after the close of trading and after the clearing session until 7 p.m. Almaty time. Trading participants must deposit assets by 5.20 p.m. Almaty time on the T+2 day.

Yes.  Risk management system and mechanisms to regulate defaults used by KASE are designed to minimize the consequences of such failure to deliver assets. In any case, the participant to whom the obligations have not been fulfilled will receive cash equivalent of the expected assets, which may be will consist of both margin and guarantee fund contributions of the insolvent participant, and funds of the Exchange’s reserve fund created specifically to cover liabilities of insolvent participants.

The transfer of title to securities will be held based on the results of settlements on the T+2 day.

Only after the shares will be credited to its account i.e. two days after the transaction date. In other words, if the date of fixing the register for payment of dividends on shares of any name falls on the two days following the date of the transaction to buy shares, the person, who acted in this transaction as the seller, will have the right to receive dividends until the time when shares are deposited to the account.

With shares in the KASE Index universe.

Current KASE trading system. It is currently being modified to support the new T+2 scheme.

Commissions and clearing fees are debited in the same way as fees for transactions made according to T+0 settlement scheme, i.e. monthly based on the invoices issued by KASE according to relevant procedure.

No, assets are accounted for in one account of the trading participant. It means that the trading participant has a single position for accounting for assets related to transactions made according to both T-0 and T+2 settlement schemes.

The settlement date for T+2 settlement scheme will be the second working day after the transaction date. For example, if the transaction was made on Friday, the settlement date will be Tuesday next week. If Monday is a day off, the settlement date will be postponed from Tuesday to Wednesday.

Any order submitted to KASE trading system for executing a trade transaction with securities should at least be secured by an initial margin taking into account the margin rate on the securities in respect of which the order is being submitted. Sell order can be fully secured by securities based on the number of such securities in the order.

No, they can't. All orders to conclude opening deals in the market of repo with netting must be fully secured? The reason for this is that the opening deals are settled on the day when such transactions are made.

No, they won't.

A trading participant who failed to meet its obligations on the transactions it has made will be declared insolvent and will be required to pay a penalty of 0.1% of the amount of outstanding obligations for each day when the default was addressed. taking into account the number of days. 

Yes, it is possible. That part of obligations, which was not fulfilled on T+2 day, will be fulfilled within the following days as part of the default regulation procedures including forfeits.

No.

The margin consists of the initial margin and maintenance margin. Initial margin rates are set depending on the volatility of securities, i.e. the lower the volatility of the security, the lower the rates on this security. The maintenance margin makes up 80% of liabilities on the initial margin. The initial margin rates are set in accordance with the internal methodology for calculating risk parameters of the Exchange and are available to trading participants in the trading system. For example, if the initial margin rate is 15% and the share price is 1,000, then the amount of the initial margin will be 150 and the maintenance margin will be 120. However, if the share price rose to 1,050 the next day, then the amount of the initial margin calculated at the same rate would be 157.5 and the required maintenance margin fee would be 126. This difference of 6 (126-120) is the reason for the margin call, for which the participant must contribute additional 6 on its margin account to restore the initial margin balance to the required level.

Yes, there is.  Repo transactions on the repo market with netting, which will be launched around the same time as the launch of trading according to T+2 settlement scheme, are designed to help trading participants attract assets required for settlement at acceptable rates with the transfer of title to the subject of repo transactions from a seller to a buyer and with settlements of opening transactions on the date of these transactions (T+0). Closing transactions are calculated on T+1 day, which provides for the possibility to transfer positions. The results of opening and closing repo transactions are included in the overall netting together with the results of trade deals concluded under T+2 scheme.

Yes, they can, but only if they are trading orders to sell or orders to make repo opening transactions in the repo market with netting. In both cases, the collateral is 100%.

The collateral is calculated at the margin fee rate of the maximum planned position in absolute terms: sale or purchase. If they are not equal to zero, then the collateral will not be equal to zero.

Yes. The rates of margin contributions for securities are calculated based on the volatility of these securities and are set in the trading system once a day before the start of trading. Depending on changes in the volatility of securities, the rates of margin contributions will be revalued and the rates would be updated.

Yes. They are taken into account.  For example, if the margin is 10%, then the remaining 90% must be supplied to the accounts in the Central Depository on the settlement date in order to settle liabilities.

Yes.

During the transition period, when there will be two settlement cycles T+2 and T+0 in place at the same time, non-government securities traded under T+2 settlement scheme will be assigned temporary codes, for instance, "ABCD_T2."

Based on clearing results (at the end of the clearing session), planned position changes in money terms and the settlement position is adjusted to the same amount, the incoming position changes in terms of securities and the settlement position is adjusted for the same amount.

The change of a single limit is not essential when repo transaction is concluded. Due to the fact that until you have withdrawn money or securities from a clearing account based on the settlement results, assets to be received on the first leg are still accounted for as collateral and do not lead to a change in a single limit. At the time of the transaction - it is only a interest-rate risk, which is not significant. The change occurs when money or securities are withdrawn.

Because this security is traded on the terms of partial collateral; the "Y" settlement code with method of security means control of partial collateral when an order is submitted.

The exchange certificate will not be sent via new trading system ASTS+. It will be available through eTransfer software.
