MCX launches membership drive, to target smaller cities

Gearing up to start a full-fledged stock exchange, MCX-SX today launched a membership drive to sign-up entities to trade on its platform, while offering competitive rates to take on its rivals NSE and BSE.

MCX-SX (MCX Stock Exchange) said that it would follow a "integrated India model" for its operations, under which it would have special focus on smaller cities to help create an equity culture across the country.

MCX-SX is currently present only in currency derivatives segment, with about 750 members.
It recently got market regulator Sebi's nod to deal in stocks, equity futures and options, interest rate derivatives and wholesale debt markets.

BSE has listed out a total of 1,083 members on its website, while NSE has more than 1,400 members.
Under an introductory offer valid till October 18, MCX-SX would provide entry-level membership at Rs 25 lakh (Rs 5 lakh of membership fee and Rs 20 lakh deposits).

While NSE has new membership fee of Rs 5 lakh, the same at BSE is Rs 2.5 lakh. NSE and BSE seek deposits worth up to Rs 1.25 crore and Rs 30 lakh respectively from their members.

Besides, the members at MCX-SX would have to maintain a networth of Rs 30 lakh, which is similar at BSE but higher at a minimum of Rs 1 crore at NSE.

Experts say that the market might see some course-correction in the membership charges, given the competitive price offered by MCX-SX, although charges have already come down at the BSE in the past couple of years.

The membership cost structure of an exchange typically includes membership fee, deposits and members' networth.

MCX-SX would seek to attract people from smaller cities through its competitive cost-structure.
Currently, the market participation and liquidity is limited to less than 2% of the population and is heavily dominated by top metro cities.

MCX-SX said that its introductory entry-level membership offer of Rs 25 lakh, which includes a rebate given against transaction charge during the offer, would rise to Rs 50 lakh after October 18.
It is designed to bring in cost optimisation as it frees up huge capital for members and brokers that would otherwise be blocked in exchanges, it said.

Brokers and members would be be able to utilise this fund towards client acquisition, training of staff and business expansion, MCX-SX said, while announcing two new categories of memberships for Indian markets -- professionally qualified members and rural entrepreneur members.

Besides, MCX-SX would have a third category of composite members for all eligible entities.

Commenting on the membership drive, MCX-SX Managing Director and CEO Joseph Massey said, "We have implemented an integrated India model, which will foster balanced participation from foreign institutional investors, domestic financial institutions and new members from Tier II and Tier III centres. Our aim is to drive financial inclusion by optimising the cost structure of membership and innovating two unique categories for MCX-SX membership."

The exchange would offer membership in categories of Trading Member, Self Clearing Member, Trading-cum-Clearing Member and Professional Clearing Member (PCM.)

MCX-SX membership to cost 15-80% less

MCX Stock Exchange (MCX-SX), which recently received regulatory approval to function as a full-fledged national exchange, has come out with an aggressively priced membership cost structure to attract new brokers.

Its limited-period membership offer, announced on Wednesday, is 15-80% cheaper than those offered by rivals BSE and the National Stock Exchange (NSE).

The offer, which runs till October 18, would involve net outlay (including admission fees and deposit) of Rs25 lakh for entry-level membership to cash and the futures and options (F&O) segments.
MCX trading tips has kept the admission fees at Rs5 lakh, the same as that at NSE.

However, its deposit requirement is just Rs10 lakh for each of the segments. The deposit requirement at NSE is Rs125 lakh and Rs25 lakh for the cash and F&O segments, respectively, while for BSE, the total deposit requirement including base minimum capital and trade guarantee fund is close to Rs30 lakh.
Experts see the move meeting its objective.

“The cost structure is in line with the current trend and should help it attract leading brokerages and build up volumes once it starts equity segment trading,” said Sudip Bandyopadhyay, MD and CEO, Destimoney Securities.

Jagannadham Thunuguntla, strategist & head of research at SMC Global Securities, said the offer was expected, after all the efforts that have gone into obtaining the equity segment licence. “MCX, being a promoter-driven entity, has more aggression and hunger to gain market presence. It has considerable base in the form of commodity trading members who may enroll in equities segment as well,” he said.
And it isn’t the cost structure alone that MCX-SX is using to attract members.

It has kept the networth requirement for members at Rs30 lakh, which is in line with what BSE stipulates for its members, but is less than the Rs75-100 lakh required by NSE.

The exchange has also introduced two special category of memberships --- professionally qualified member and rural entrepreneur member --- in order to increase its reach and attract brokers in rural and smaller districts with no capital market penetration.

The exchange would offer 10% discount on application fees to professionally qualified members and 20% discount to rural entrepreneurs starting broking business in 5,300-odd smaller subdistricts and talukas where there is no capital market penetration.

MCX-SX, in its press release, said the cost optimisation will free up huge capital for members and brokers that would otherwise be blocked in exchanges. “Brokers and members will now be able to utilise this fund towards client acquisition, training of staff and business expansion,” it said.
