Turquoise´s derivatives offer Member firms new and innovative features in addition to
the highly successful market models used for its existing Norwegian and IOB
business developed alongside Members.
|
Recognised system: Robust and ultra-fast SOLA platform developed by TMX Group and currently used on BOX, Montreal Exchange, IDEM and Turquoise Derivatives. |
|
Performance: Average response time of 690 microseconds (orders) and 870 microseconds (bulk quotes) makes SOLA one of the fastest derivatives platforms in the world. |
|
Unique trading opportunities: Matching engine in the same data-centre as those for LSE and Turquoise cash markets creates a unique latency arbitrage opportunity across UK and Pan-European cash and derivatives markets. |
|
Setup cost: No membership fee and leveraging of existing LSEG networks, resources and processes minimises (and in some cases eliminates) setup and development costs. |
|
Fees: Intelligent, tailored and competitive fee models on a product basis. Introduction of maker-taker based pricing means that, for the first time in Europe, rebates on passive derivatives flow can be accrued. Significant reductions on aggressive trade fees.
|
|
Clearing and margining: With its IOB offering and cooperation with Oslo Børs, Turquoise is already "Primary-market" on multiple markets. Combined with upcoming Pan-European index and stock contracts, Members can improve operational efficiency and net margin payments across geographies, all though one clearer - LCH.Clearnet. |
