...Jacek Tomaszewski SPECYFIKA RYZYKA INWESTYCYJNEGO W ALTERNATYWNYCH SYSTEMACH OBROTU NA PRZYKłADZIE RYNKU NEW CONNECT 1. WSTęP Jednym z najważniejszych przejawów liberalizacji form zorganizowanego obrotu papierami wartościowymi (szczególnie na rynku akcji) było powstanie i dynamiczny rozwój instytucji określanych mianem wielostronnych platform obrotu (MTF - Multilateral Trading Facilities). Oddolny proces tworzenia tego rodzaju inicjatyw osiągnął taką skalę, iż znalazł swoje odzwierciedlenie w jednoznacznej definicji zjawiska w przepisach prawa takich jak regulacje Unii Europejskiej. Zgodnie z definicją Dyrektywy MIFID „wielostronne platformy obrotu (MTF)” oznaczają wielostronny system, obsługiwany przez przedsiębiorstwo inwestycyjne lub podmiot gospodarczy, który kojarzy transakcje strony trzeciej w dziedzinie kupna i sprzedaży instrumentów finansowych – w systemie i zgodnie z regułami innymi niż uznaniowe – w sposób skutkujący zawarciem kontraktu[1]. Pierwszy etap rozwoju platform obrotu typu MTF to inicjatywy podejmowane przez przedsiębiorstwa inwestycyjne lub ich konsorcja tworzące elektroniczne platformy obrotu skierowane przede wszystkim do hurtowych uczestników rynków finansowych. Platformy takie pojawiły się początkowo na rynku amerykańskim gdzie określane były mianem ECN (Electronic Communication Networks). Pojawienie sie i rozwój ECN spowodował zagrożenie dla pozycji tradycyjnych giełd papierów wartościowych jako głównych organizatorów masowego obrotu...

...High-Frequency Trading Peter Gomber, Björn Arndt, Marco Lutat, Tim Uhle Chair of Business Administration, especially e-Finance E-Finance Lab Prof. Dr. Peter Gomber Campus Westend • RuW P.O. Box 69 • D-60629 Frankfurt/Main Commissioned by Executive Summary High-frequency trading (HFT) has recently drawn massive public attention fuelled by the U.S. May 6, 2010 flash crash and the tremendous increases in trading volumes of HFT strategies. Indisputably, HFT is an important factor in markets that are driven by sophisticated technology on all layers of the trading value chain. However, discussions on this topic often lack sufficient and precise information. A remarkable gap between the results of academic research on HFT and its perceived impact on markets in the public, media and regulatory discussions can be observed. The research at hand aims to provide up-to-date background information on HFT. This includes definitions, drivers, strategies, academic research and current regulatory discussions. It analyzes HFT and thus contributes to the ongoing discussions by evaluating certain proposed regulatory measures, trying to offer new perspectives and deliver solution proposals. Our main results are: HFT is a technical means to implement established trading strategies. HFT is not a trading strategy as such but applies the latest technological advances in market access, market data access and order routing to maximize the returns of established trading strategies. Therefore...
