This consultation paper seeks your feedback on proposals to improve disclosure about over-the-counter contracts for difference (OTC CFDs) offered to retail investors. This paper covers both disclosure provided in Product Disclosure Statements (PDSs) and advertising.

It includes a draft regulatory guide that sets out benchmarks for improved disclosure to help retail investors better understand and assess these kinds of financial products.

Our proposals may also be of interest to those associated with the issue of exchange-traded CFDs.
