Alert - Resource for Financial Services Professionals

November, 2010 - Melbourne, Victoria

We are pleased to announce the release of a new edition of Minter Ellison's Integrated FSR.

Integrated FSR brings together the financial services provisions of Chapter 7 of the Corporations Act 2001 (Cth) and related regulations, explanatory materials, class orders, and references to Treasury and ASIC material in a single easy to use package. It has proved an essential aid to understanding the financial services regime with all its myriad changes. 

Integrated FSR 2011 incorporates the latest changes, including the extension of the regime to margin loans and other products and services, the new short-selling disclosure regime, the transfer of regulatory authority from the ASX to ASIC, and the latest changes made in the shorter product disclosure statement regulations for certain superannuation and managed investment products. Integrated FSR 2011 incorporates information up to 31 October 2010.

We have also included Chapter 8 of the Corporations Act, as well as draft legislation relating to access to corporate registers and limited recourse borrowing by superannuation funds.

Integrated FSR is available in three different editions:

a Financial Products and Services edition which covers financial services licensing, obligations of licensees and product disclosure – Parts 7.6 – 7.10 and 7.12 of the Corporations Act



a Financial Markets edition which covers licensing of markets and clearing and settlement facilities, compensation regimes and the title and transfer provisions – Parts 7.2 – 7.5 and 7.11, and



a Full Edition which includes both the Financial Products and Services and the Financial Markets editions. 



All three editions include the market misconduct provisions (Part 7.10), the mutual recognition regime for securities offers (Chapter 8) and the general interpretative provisions and definitions (Part 7.1 and provisions and definitions extracted from Chapters 1 and 9).
