Vendor Information

Aquis Exchange is authorised and regulated by the UK Financial Conduct Authority to operate a Multilateral Trading Facility. It was established in October 2012, launched in November 2013, and operates a pan-European cash equities trading exchange and develops exchange software. Aquis Exchange is changing the European trading landscape through its introduction of subscription pricing and innovative order types. Currently, over 90% of European equity trading in each individual country takes place on two exchanges. The aim of Aquis Exchange is to bring fresh competition into the marketplace in order to lower the trading costs maintained by the existing duopoly.

Aquis Exchanges subscription pricing works on a similar model to that of the telecoms industry and is designed to encourage participation from all categories of professional trading firm. Users are charged according to the message traffic they generate, rather than a percentage of the value of each stock that they trade. There are different pricing bands to accommodate varying degrees of usage, with a very low usage band for small firms - who are traditionally disadvantaged by the pricing structure of the incumbent exchanges. On the other end of the pricing structure, is the top category where usage is unlimited (subject to a 'air usage' policy).
