The record an agent cites under the Design and Distribution Obligations, for every issuer listed in Australia.

The Design and Distribution Obligations (DDO) make an Australian issuer decide who a product is for and make every distributor stay inside that decision. An agent working the distribution side reads the issuer before it reads the target market determination. agent-ddo.ai gives it that issuer: 1874 companies on ASX, NSX and the Australian listings of TMX, joined to the ASIC company register for the ACN, ABN, type and status, stored and served in Sydney.

1 The duty, in Australia

1.1

Statute: Part 7.8A of the Corporations Act 2001, in force since 5 October 2021; ASIC Regulatory Guide 274 sets out how ASIC reads it.

1.2

Issuers: make a target market determination for each product in scope and review it (sections 994B and 994C).

1.3

Distributors: take reasonable steps so that retail distribution is consistent with the determination (section 994E), and report significant dealings outside it.

1.4

Scope: fully paid ordinary shares are outside DDO; hybrids, notes, listed options and exchange-traded products are inside, and the company that issues them is the same company the record carries.

1.5

What stays with the firm: the determination, the distribution conditions and the dealing reports. DDO judgements are the issuer's and the distributor's; the record is the common ground both read.

2 What the record answers under DDO

2.1

The listed entity: ASX code, legal name, ACN and ABN from the ASIC dataset, company type and registration status.

2.2

The announcement trail: ASX company announcements over twelve months — results, appendix filings, capital raisings, director interests — each with its ASX announcement URL.

2.3

The register trail: ASIC status changes where the company carries an ACN.

2.4

The missing pieces, counted: address fields the bulk register does not carry, and venues with no machine-readable list, are written into the gap line.

2.5

Supervised by the Australian Securities and Investments Commission (ASIC); the record is public-record only — no prices, quotes or licensed market data, nothing inferred, blank stays blank.

3 The door it calls

3.2

Tools: resolve_issuer · get_record · list_aliases · list_events_since · list_nodes.

3.3

Every identifier is answered by its own node; the apex https://mcp.capitalmarketsknowledgegraph.ai/mcp and getissuer.ai route any identifier there. No record body leaves its country; no fallback.

5 Known gaps

Australia (au-cm-kg). Gaps: 8,562 lines. Auditor is a source link only by order (1,874 lines). Registered office, HQ city and state are blank on 1,257 / 1,145 rows because the ASIC bulk file carries no address and the ASX company record returns empty address fields. Width 1 gaps: 67 rows — 47 asic_events: no ACN / ASIC row in Width 0 (register events cannot be read without an ACN), 20 wire hits set aside under the name rule (ambiguous match). ASIC Connect API needs a registered key (absent); TMX Australia has no machine-readable list (standing HITL). (carried from: au-width0 and au-width1 READMEs (Gaps notes verbatim))
