MIFID II Consent Information
Consent to execution outside a Trading Venue
Davy facilitates trading in a wide range of instruments across multiple asset classes, referred to as “Financial Instruments”, which includes instruments that are traded on EU Regulated Markets (“RMs”), EU Multilateral Trading Facilities (“MTFs”) and EU Organised Trading Facilities (“OTFs”) (collectively known as “Trading Venues”).
The new category of a Trading Venue called an “OTFs” was introduced by MiFID II. An OTF is a multilateral system that is not a RM or MTF. Within an OTF, multiple third-party buying and selling interests in bonds, structured finance products, emission allowances or derivatives are able to interact in a way that results in a contract. In the event that a client requests Davy to execute orders in Financial Instruments, Davy may execute those orders outside of an RM, MTF or OTF. In these circumstances, Davy must obtain its client’s express consent to do so.
This consent is required in relation to any transaction in which Davy may enter into with on an over-the-counter (“OTC”) basis in relation to a Financial Instrument. However, this does not relieve Davy of the obligation to execute any orders in accordance with any specific instructions that Davy accepts from the client, in relation to the way in which Davy may execute the market-facing side of any order.
