Cboe Introduces New Small Retail Broker Distribution Program for U.S. Equities Market Data

CHICAGO, Aug. 1, 2019 /PRNewswire/ -- Cboe Global Markets, Inc. (Cboe: CBOE), one of the world's largest exchange holding companies, today announced it has launched a new Small Retail Broker Distribution Program which aims to broaden access to U.S. equities market data for individual investors.

The new program, effective August 1, 2019, subject to regulatory review, would allow small retail broker-dealers that support up to 5,000 individual investors to distribute Cboe's real-time top of book data feeds – including the Cboe One Summary Feed – for use throughout their websites and platforms at reduced fees¹. The new program endeavors that individual investors continue to have fair and efficient access to high-quality, real-time U.S. equities market data, and reflects Cboe's ongoing commitment to serving the interests of all investors through a variety of offerings.

As the company's most popular market data product, the Cboe One Summary Feed provides cost-effective, high-quality quote and trade information for market participants looking for comprehensive, real-time U.S. equities market data. With one product and a single license, the Cboe One Summary Feed provides market participants a unified view of the market across all four Cboe U.S. equities exchanges – BZX Exchange, BYX Exchange, EDGX Exchange and EDGA Exchange – and a valuable window into the securities that are trading on Cboe's liquid markets. UTP and CTA SIP Consolidated Volume is also included in the Cboe One Summary Feed, reflecting the total trading volume occurring on all market centers for Tape A, B or C-listed securities.

"Cboe is committed to serving the investing public and providing a variety of market data service offerings to meet the diverse needs of investors of all sizes," said Kevin Carrai, Vice President and Global Head of Market Data and Access Services at Cboe Global Markets. "Our new Small Retail Broker Distribution Program is designed with this mission in mind. Catering to small, retail brokers and the individual investors they serve, we believe this program will further democratize access to real-time U.S. equities quote and trade information through lower costs and broader distribution to individual investors."

Cboe offers a variety of competitively-priced data solutions for a diverse set of market participants and vendors – including data platforms, financial information websites, fintech firms, buy-side investors, retail brokers, regional banks, and securities firms globally – that are increasingly seeking Cboe's lower cost, high quality real-time U.S. equities market data to power their systems and applications. 

In particular, distribution of the company's flagship Cboe One Summary Feed has continued to expand over recent years, reaching nearly two million reported users globally. The feed is now available through most major financial data vendors including FactSet Research Systems Inc., ICE Data Services, IHS Markit, Morningstar, Refinitiv Limited, among more than a dozen other vendor partners.
