OTF
New regulatory changes arising from MiFID II mean significant changes in 2018 for the financial industry. Kyte Broking has received FCA approval to operate an OTF Trading Venue in 2018.
The operation of an OTF is regarded as complementary to our established exchange execution services. The opportunity to execute on the OTF and/or bilaterally will be key for brokers going forward. We are one of the few independents and we welcome the challenges and opportunities presented in the MiFID II world.
On 5 April 2018, Kyte Broking issued a Market Notice (18/001) advising Members and Clients that the rulesbook for Kyte Broking Organised Trading Facility (“KBL OTF”) has been amended and effective immediately. Full notice can be read here.
