Initiated by specialist firms and undertaken in conjunction with issuers, NYSE Group concluded that the most efficient and industry-preferred market structure for listing and trading ETFs is the NYSE Arca platform, which utilizes dedicated liquidity providers in the form of Lead Market Makers (LMMs). This model, which requires LMMs to maintain certain performance obligations for all NYSE Arca listed securities, benefits investors and issuers with consistent liquidity and reduced volatility. NYSE Group believes that offering a single, harmonized platform for listing and trading ETFs will further improve efficiencies and market quality.
NYSE Arca’s all-electronic platform is the single largest public liquidity pool for ETFs in the U.S. and presents a compelling value proposition for all market participants. So far in 2007, NYSE Arca handled 42.3% of all ETF shares traded in the U.S, representing an average daily volume of approximately 216.36 million shares per day.
