South Africa's financial markets regulator has invited public comments on proposed amendments to the A2X listing requirements governing actively managed exchange traded funds (ETFs) and actively managed certificates under the Financial Markets Act. The amendments aim to update and clarify the listing standards applicable to actively managed ETFs and actively managed certificates on the A2X exchange. These instruments allow fund managers to actively manage portfolios rather than passively tracking an index, providing investors with alternative investment vehicles. The proposed changes address regulatory requirements and operational standards for these product categories to ensure investor protection and market integrity. The amendments are relevant to fund managers, ETF issuers, certificate issuers, and other market participants seeking to list or operate these instruments on the A2X exchange. The changes may impact how these entities structure their products, meet governance requirements, and comply with listing standards. Interested parties are invited to submit written comments on the proposed amendments by Friday, April 10, 2026, at 12:00. Comments should be submitted in accordance with the procedures outlined in the consultation notice. The regulator will review all submissions received during the comment period before finalising the amendments. **Reference:** South African Government Gazette – Financial Markets Act: A2X Listing requirements – actively managed exchange traded funds and actively managed certificates: Amendments: Comments invited
