BATS Chi-X Europe Approved To List ETFs

[hog]

The European trading platform BATS Chi-X Europe has received regulatory approval from the UK’s Financial Conduct Authority (FCA) to become a Recognised Investment Exchange (RIE). The new status will allow BATS Chi-X to compete for primary listings of shares and ETFs in Europe.

Previously, BATS Chi-X had the status of a multilateral trading facility (MTF), a category of stock exchange introduced under the European Union’s 2007 Markets in Financial Instruments Directive (MiFID) in an attempt to foster competition amongst Europe’s share trading venues.

In 2011 BATS announced that it was entering the primary listing business in the US and saw the first exchange-traded fund listed last January by iShares.

BATS Chi-X Europe is the sixth recipient of RIE status in the UK, following the London Stock Exchange, NYSE Liffe, ICE Futures Europe, the London Metal Exchange, and ICAP’s Securities and Derivatives Exchange.
