Description

Rising market data costs have drawn global regulatory and buy side and sell side attention.

On April 18, 2023, the Canadian Securities Administrators (CSA) issued CSA Staff Notice 21-334 – Next Steps to Facilitate Access to Real-Time Market Data (RTMD) – the “Next Steps” – as a result of CSA Consultation Paper 21-403 – Access to Real-Time Market Data to address concerns about the accessibility and increasing cost of RTMD in a fragmented trading environment.

To further inform the CSA’s Next Steps (see IIAC’s Executive Summary) which reflect multiple IIAC recommendations, this roundtable discussion provides a forum for multiple knowledgeable insights into the state of market data pricing, including pricing trends in Europe and North America; the practical impact of Canadian, U.S. and UK regulatory frameworks; and proposed practical solutions.

Join us to discuss:

Cost methodologies, including the data fee methodology (DFM) and fee approvals.
Operational Procedures, including procedural efficiencies, licensing, and audit practices, that may decrease costs
Structures and administration models: including information processors, consolidators, and their cost impacts

Participants include:

Richard Carleton, Chief Executive Officer, Canadian Securities Exchange
