    • AU-1.1.15

      For the purposes of Volume 4 (Investment Business), Category 2 investment firms may undertake (subject to Rule AU-1.1.19) any regulated investment service (as listed in Rule AU-1.1.13), except that of 'dealing in financial instruments as principal'.

    • AU-1.1.16

      A Category 2 investment firm cannot, therefore, trade in financial instruments for its own account ('dealing in financial instruments as principal'), but it may conduct all other types of regulated investment services, including holding client assets.
