Jon Parsons, COO at Ultumus said:
big xyt has successfully delivered clear transparency on European cross border Exchange Traded Fund (ETF) liquidity through consolidated reporting of bid/offer spreads and volumes. It is clear that spreads vary widely throughout the spectrum of European exchanges and cause ETF liquidity fragmentation which can result in a challenging execution environment for investors.” He continued, “big xyt provides investors with the insight to enable efficient trading which is secured through transparency of the tightest spreads across all European listings.
