Mark Hemsley, President of Europe for Cboe, said:
We’ve been very excited by the response since launching Cboe LIS just over one year ago. Our unique model for Cboe LIS, which brings together a diverse mix of order flow from the U.S. and Europe, has attracted strong interest from both buy- and sell-side firms. With MiFID II now in effect, we believe Cboe LIS and our Periodic Auctions book are well-poised to further benefit from the changing market dynamics that we expect will occur this year.
