However, the Qualified Investors for trading in the secondary market do not require registration in ESS further. The Central Depository Bangladesh Limited (CDBL) or Depository Participants (DP) will provide the list of the Qualified Investors on quarterly basis to the Exchanges and accordingly Exchanges will ensure their trading facilities in the secondary platform. 2. At the time of accepting any buy or sell order for shares listed in SME platform, the respective DPs/brokerage houses will ensure the eligibility of Qualified Investors based on their available data in back-office software or OMS.
