One of the most important duties of a Member Firm is to ensure that its client meets the eligibility criteria, and is otherwise suitable for our market as an admission, and whether the client is likely to affect the orderly operation or integrity and reputation of GSX.
A vital component of that determination is the due diligence process.
The GSX Procedures Manual sets out basic procedures that will enable GSX to ensure that all Member Firms adopt a consistent set of key due diligence parameters for all applications to GSX.
