Regulatory Framework

The Graded Surveillance Measure (GSM) is a framework designed to:

  • Enhance market integrity and investor protection
  • Apply additional surveillance on securities exhibiting abnormal price movements
  • Impose progressive restrictions based on the stage of surveillance
  • Alert investors about securities under increased regulatory scrutiny

Trading Implications

  • Stage I & II: Price bands, additional disclosure requirements, and periodic call auctions
  • Stage III & IV: More stringent restrictions including 100% upfront margin requirements, no intraday trading, and mandatory delivery-based settlement
  • Higher GSM stages indicate greater regulatory concern and stricter trading conditions

Important Dates

  • Effective Date: November 6, 2025

Impact Assessment

Market Impact: Medium - The movement of these securities into GSM stages will reduce liquidity and increase trading costs for investors holding or trading these stocks. Higher margin requirements and delivery-based settlement obligations may discourage speculative trading.

Investor Impact: Existing investors should be aware of increased surveillance and may face restrictions on trading flexibility. New investors should exercise caution and understand the reasons for GSM classification before investing in these securities.

Compliance Impact: Trading members and investors must comply with additional margin requirements and settlement obligations specific to each GSM stage.
