|
| A facility for trading which is less formal than a fully established exchange. | | A legally enforceable agreement to keep information confidential. |
|
| |
|
| | NDAs are very commonly used during commercial negotiations. |
|
| |
|
| Operating a Multilateral trading facility is an investment service to which [[MiFID]] regulation applies.
| |
|
| |
|
| | | They are also known as ''confidentiality agreements''. |
| An MTF is defined for MiFID purposes as:
| |
| | |
| #A multilateral system
| |
| #Operated by an investment firm or a market operator
| |
| #Which brings together multiple third-party buying and selling interests in financial instruments
| |
| #In the multilateral system
| |
| #In accordance with non-discretionary rules
| |
| #In a way that results in a contract.
| |
| | |
| | |
| MTFs are required under MiFID to comply with regulations about:
| |
| | |
| #Organisation
| |
| #Transparency and
| |
| #Market surveillance.
| |
| | |
| | |
| The regulations for MTFs are similar to those applying to larger and more formal regulated markets (RMs).
| |
| | |
| However, the regulatory requirements for MTFs are lighter than the requirements for regulated markets.

| | |
| | |
| ''MiFID Level 1 Directive. Articles 4(15), 13, 14, 25, 26, Annex I, Section A.''
| |
| | |
| | |
| Participants in MTFs are also subject to the Market Abuse Regulation (MAR).
| |
| | |
| | |
| | |
| MTFs were formerly known as Alternative Trading Systems (ATSs).
| |
| | |
| | |
| The MTF system is sometimes also known as a 'venue'.
| |
| | |
| In practice the venue would normally be a virtual venue, rather than a physical location.
