A new way of thinking about markets…

Plato Partnership is a not-for-profit company uniting asset managers and broker-dealers in a collaborative effort to create innovative solutions for today's complex equity marketplace.

Revenue generated by Plato Partnership is channelled into academic research through MI3, advancing our understanding of trade execution methods while reducing costs and enhancing the quality of data and processes throughout the execution lifecycle.

Through collaborative engagement, we work to strengthen the reputation of equities markets and create a superior trading experience that benefits all market participants.

The Board is guided by three groups: the Market Insight Innovation Implementation Group (MI3), the Plato Strategic Initiatives Group (PSIG), and partnership governance bodies including the Turquoise Plato Expert Group. Each Board member is committed to supporting one of these core groups.

Plato Partnership’s Structure

Plato Partnership's members recognise a long-standing need for a collaborative mechanism that allows market participants to address shared challenges collectively. These include regulatory requirements, communication protocols, and universal processes that do not constitute competitive advantages.

By tackling these issues through a pre-established collaborative framework, Plato Partnership can significantly reduce systemic costs and build trust across the market ecosystem. Our approach enables us to generate meaningful, impactful solutions that address industry-wide concerns.

Through our Market Innovator (MI3) group, Plato Partnership occupies a unique position in the market. We are committed to developing and proposing innovative approaches that deliver genuine value to all market participants.

Plato Strategic Initiatives Group

The Plato Strategic Initiatives Group is where the Partnership’s founding members identify and develop new initiatives and identify partnerships with external providers to deliver these initiatives to the marketplace.

Turquoise Plato Expert Group

The Turquoise Plato expert Group looks at a range of topics to improve the trading experience within the Turquoise Plato Block Discovery™ working group. Turquoise and Plato members develop market model proposals for implementation on Turquoise Plato order books.
