The FISD’s Real-time Market Data Subject Group (RTMDSG) has identified the following organisations as likely sources of real-time OTC market transparency information under the rules of MiFID. For each listed organisation, the RTMDSG has compiled product and contact information that has been contributed by RTMDSG members or is available through public sources. Wherever possible, the FISD and the RTMDSG have attempted to verify the attached information with the individual data sources. While the information that is provided is believed to be correct, the RTMDSG and FISD take no responsibility for its accuracy.

The RTMDSG is part of the MiFID Joint Working Group, a collaboration founded by FIX Protocol Ltd (FPL), ISITC Europe, the Reference Data User Group (RDUG) and FISD/SIIA. Members of these organizations have worked together voluntarily since April 2005 to address the common MiFID-related issues identified by each of the collaboration’s six Subject Groups. Each Subject Group is led by one of the organizations, with participation open to members of the other affiliated organizations.

Description


Equiduct will distribute pre- and post-trade information relating to its PartnerEx and Hybrid book transactions.

Equiduct will offer access to a complete set of features ensuring that all executed orders are MiFID compliant, including:

Pre-Trade Display: Equiduct will enable investment firms to make MiFID compliant, continuous information available regarding number, size and price of orders. Equiduct will have links to international market data vendors for the real-time dissemination of order and quote details.  This facility will also be made available to systematic internalisers that do not participate in the Hybrid Book.

Post-Trade Display: Equiduct will enable all firms to publish trade data in compliance with MiFID post-trade transparency regulations. Equiduct will have links to international market data vendors for the real-time dissemination of trade details. Depending on the size of the transaction, participants will be able to benefit from optional deferred post-trade publication.

Record Keeping: Equiduct will automatically archive a MiFID compliant record of all orders, quotes and trades on behalf of our Participants.

Trade Reporting Facility: Equiduct will provide facilities to allow Participants to report trades which occur outside of its trading system, in order to ensure compliance with the post-trade transparency requirements under MIFID. Equiduct expects to be one of the lowest cost providers of this service.

 In addition, Equiduct will be a data provider for the Equiduct VBBO (Consolidated Tape). Equiduct VBBO will be produced and distributed as a real-time feed for around 600 European equities that Equiduct has estimated will initially be classified as ‘liquid instruments’ by CESR (the official list is expected to be released in July 2007) plus around 700 other equities that are currently viewed as liquid as a result of their inclusion in national indices.

Equiduct VBBO is a proprietary volume weighted average best bid and offer price derived from a virtual consolidated order book comprising visible pre-trade information from significant “Relevant Markets”.  The Relevant Markets will be defined in the Equiduct Rule Book and are expected to comprise those Regulated Markets (RM), Multilateral Trading Facilities (MTF) and Systematic Internalisers (SI) that contribute in a meaningful manner to the pan-European price formation process of a particular security through visible, accessible and firm prices that are distributed in a manner that allows for very consolidation.

Description


Pre-trade transparency: Firms undertaking internalisation in UK and Dutch liquid securities on the Exchange’s SETS and EUROSETS systems will be able to meet MiFID requirements on pre trade transparency by using a new market making function on the order book to advertise their prices in the relevant securities.

For other liquid securities a new European Quoting Service will provide a facility for firms to advertise the prices at which they are prepared to trade.

For small cap and fledgling stocks not currently traded on order book systems, the new SETSqx service will enable firms to meet the MiFID requirement to display unfulfilled client limit orders by providing a facility to submit limit orders executable through periodic auctions, alongside non-electronically executable market maker quotes.

Post-trade Transparency: The Exchange will continue to offer its established UK reporting service, and will introduce a European Trade Reporting service for both on Exchange and OTC trades in all EU securities.

The Exchange is also consulting on offering OTC reporting to non-members
