The Australian Securities and Investments Commission. Applies the same 30:1 retail leverage cap on major pairs, requires segregated client money and negative balance protection, and runs the Australian Financial Complaints Authority as an external dispute route. There is no compensation fund equivalent to the FSCS, so ASIC scores tier 1 on conduct rather than on a payout guarantee.
