OSC Staff Notice and Request for Comment on Proposed Trading Structure

http://aequitasinnovations.com/regulatory/

On August 13, 2013, the Ontario Securities Commission Staff (OSC) published, for a 45 days public comment period, a description of the trading features that are part of the trading ecosystem that we propose to implement as part of our mission to build a new exchange in Canada. The comment period will end on Friday September 27th 2013. We commend the OSC for this initiative as it complements our approach of dialogue with industry stakeholders.

The trading features identified by the OSC Staff, while a subset of the proposition that we intend to bring to the marketplace, are an intrinsic part of our integrated trading solutions seeking to restrict predatory trading and promote liquidity through committed and sustainable market making.

OSC Staff Notice and Request for Comment can be found here.

Making your voice heard is important. You can do this in multiple ways:

Send in your own comment letter to the OSC;
Provide responses to our multiple choice questionnaire and send it to the OSC;

Proposition Papaer

Aequitas_Innovations_Position_Paper_240613

Mission Statement

To create an exchange in Canada that provides an innovative and cost-efficient marketplace, which protects the interests of all investors and reflects the fundamental purpose of markets: the efficient allocation of capital between issuer and investor as a central force driving the Canadian economy.

Founding Vision

We believe differentiated marketplace competition will enhance confidence in Canada’s capital markets.  More of the same won’t help address the issues that exist.  Today there is untapped opportunity to innovate using technology to promote liquidity, fairness, cost savings and growth.

Aequitas Mandate

Our founding investors have given us a clear mandate: to serve the collective interests of investors, issuers and intermediaries and, as a result, the public at large.

We will deliver on our mandate by meeting four key objectives:

1. Always put the investor and issuer first, as directed by our balanced, broad and open ownership structure.
2. Ensure quality markets and allow for sustainable market making.
3. Introduce innovative and affordable services that foster meaningful competition, reduce costs and improve market efficiency.
4. Provide all types of issuers with solutions to access the capital they need to grow.

Who is behind the new Canadian Aequitas Innovations Exchange proposing to take on the TSX?

Who is behind the new Canadian Aequitas Exchange proposing to take on the TSX?

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aequitas_Exchange

Aequitas Exchange is a proposed stock exchange to challenge the Toronto Stock Exchange. Ther is

Aequitas is a joint venture between several domestic and international financial services companies:

• RBC
• IGM Financial
• CI Financial
• PSP Investments
• ITG
• Barclays

The new exchange is offering lower fees and fairness of smaller investors

A recent article provides more detail;

http://www.wallstreetandtech.com/exchanges/canadas-new-aequitas-exchange-no-hft-all/240157281

In a direct jab at the Toronto Stock Exchange, RBC, Barclays and others are creating a new exchange that does not permit any high-frequency trading. Will it work

Canada’s dominant stock exchange operator – the TMX Group – has some new competition with a twist. The Royal Bank of Canada, Barclays and Investment Technology Group (ITG) and others have joined forces to form Aequitas Innovations, a new stock exchange that will limit the role of high frequency trading.

Slated to start trading in 2014, the Aequitas exchange aims to be a refuge for investors who have been short-changed by the high frequency traders, according to managers behind the new venture.

“I would call it a grassroots reaction from some key market stakeholders saying we need choice, more choice in the marketplace,” says Jos Schmitt, chief executive officer of Aequitas. According to news reports, Schmitt previously ran Alpha Group before it was taken over by TMX Group, which runs the Toronto Stock Exchange. TMX handles an estimated 80 percent of equity trading in Canada.

“Through Aequitas, we have a compelling opportunity to create a level playing field for both retail and institutional investors by challenging certain predatory high frequency trading strategies which have impacted the quality of existing equity markets,” says Greg Mills, chairman of Aequitas, and co-head, global equities, RBC Capital Markets.

Canadian mutual fund managers CI Financial Corp and IGM Financial Inc, pension fund PSP Public Markets are also behind the new exchange.

So why eschew HFT now? What is the allure of a go-slow exchange? HFT has been the punching bag for several critics of high-speed trading. While HFT firms and traders claim that they create much needed liquidity, critics charge that their practices create nothing more than market volatility and unneeded fear for ordinary investors. Also, more and more government regulators are looking at HFT and its impact on the market. While the outrage might be as loud as it was in the days after the collapse of Lehman Brothers and Bear Stearns, the steady drumbeat against HFT has not quieted down. Clearly some regulations in the US markets are forthcoming.

Why Canada? Because of the country’s stellar standing after the credit collapse of 2008 thanks to its tight risk rules, an exchange that bars the door to HFT might win favors with lawmakers and auditors. Canadian firms have a different definition of risk compared to the cowboys in the US so the idea of an easy-trading oasis might be what investors – those who want to trade at normal levels – ordered.

It will be interesting to see how TMX responds. Perhaps they will counter with even faster feeds and trading rates.

After all, human beings love speed
