A new way of thinking about markets…
Plato Partnership is a not-for-profit company comprising asset managers and broker-dealers who are collaborating to bring creative solutions and efficiencies to today’s complex equity marketplace.
Plato Partnership uses the revenue it generates to commission academic research through MI3. This identifies ever better ways of executing trades, as well as lowering the cost and improving the quality of the broad range of processes and data required to support the execution lifecycle.
Taking a truly collaborative approach to enhance the reputation of equities markets and improve the trading experience for the benefit of all market participants.
The Board is supported by three key groups; the Market Insight Innovation Implementation group (MI3), the Plato Strategic Initiatives Group (PSIG), and partnership governance - for example, the Turquoise Plato Expert Group. All Board members are dedicated to supporting one of these groups.
Plato Partnership’s Structure
Plato Partnership’s members believe that there has long been a desire to have a mechanism whereby all market participants can collectively address regulatory imperatives, communication flows, or other universal processes that are not competitive differentiators. The economics of tackling those individual issues through a preformed collective will enable Plato Partnership to take serious costs out of the system and earn trust. The members believe that Plato Partnership holds a unique position and through its Market Innovator (MI3), can continue to create a flow of truly compelling proposals
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.
