NSE opens new membership category for entrepreneurs

The National Stock Exchange today launched a new category of membership called ‘Alpha’.
This category of membership is for firms that do not handle customer funds. It will be effective from September 25.
Targeted at the entrepreneurial class, the NSE feels this category of membership “can bring in innovative trading ideas and strategies that could add to the liquidity of the trading platform.”
The ‘alpha’ category is ‘designed to ‘provide quick, easy and cost efficient access to the trading platform to firms that do not handle client accounts.’ This would benefit retail investors and also improve depth in the market.
For membership in the capital markets segment, a deposit of Rs 20 lakh would be charged. A deposit of Rs 25 lakh would be charged in the Futures & Options (F&O) segment. Membership in both the segments is also available under this category.
Members will be allowed to choose any one or both the segments, as against the existing offer of combined membership of both the segments, for a deposit of Rs 1.10 crore.
