Equiduct Systems Ltd. is an electronic trading platform majority owned by Citadel Securities, and operated under the regulatory structure of the Berlin Stock Exchange (also known as Börse Berlin AG).[1] Knight Capital Group is minority owner of the platform.
The technology competes with other Multilateral Trading Facilities in Europe such as Chi-X, Turquoise, BATS Europe and Nasdaq OMX Europe.[2] which have emerged after the introduction of Markets in Financial Instruments Directive which began in November 2007.
Equiduct aims to provide a fast and cost-effective trading platform for European equities. Its technology is designed to provide order execution at the best price.
History[edit]
In July 2009, Citadel Securities, a division of Citadel Investment Group, made a "significant" investment in Equiduct.[3][4] As a result, the Berlin Stock Exchange saw its 53 percent stake in the pan-European electronic trading platform diluted to just over 10 percent.[5]
The move provided further funding for the technology firm, which aims to be a major European trading platform.[6]
Berlin Stock Exchange took a majority stake in EASDAQ NV, which operated under the name Equiduct, in September 2007. The goal for the deal was to offer the exchange's customers a wide range of European financial products.[7]
