Dark Pool Guidelines of Third Party Service Providers
Jefferies Japan Limited (JJL) provides electronic trading services to our clients. Such services enable the access and execution of trades via dark pools, operated by other service providers. JJL does not operate any of the dark pools provided to our clients.
According to the requirements under the Japan Financial Instruments Exchange Law (FIEL), users of a dark pool should be provided with the conditions for usage of the dark pool and information about the dark pool operator, its participants, pricing methodology etc., prior to placing or originating an order so that the user has been fully informed as to the manner in which the dark pool operates.
Below are the guidelines for dark pools provided by JJL via third-party financial institutions. Such guidelines may be revised from time to time by the respective providers. Clients should refer to the relevant guidelines for any amendments or updates.
Your orders may be routed to the dark pools operated by these third-party providers. Please contact your sales representatives at Jefferies should you decide to opt-out to any of these dark pool(s) or discuss the options available to you.
Clients should be reminded that JJL does not guarantee price at the time of reference as execution price, though JJL does not intentionally put client orders to an inferior condition.
If you have a request to disclose trading time, price, condition, name of the dark pool, reference price and time of your dark pool execution, please contact your coverage salesperson or send an email to JJL Compliance [email protected].
Further details of the trading methodology are described in our algorithmic trading user manual, which is available upon request.
