Liquidity Programs
NYSE SLP
Supplemental Liquidity Providers (SLPs) are market makers and proprietary trading firms able to quote aggressively across a range of securities. By meeting stringent quoting requirements these firms are eligible for enhanced incentive structures.
NYSE Arca LMM
NYSE Arca Lead Market Makers (LMMs) provide reliable liquidity throughout the trading day and during opening and closing auctions for NYSE Arca-listed ETPs. LMMs and Supplemental LMMs have opportunities for enhanced trading incentives when meeting certain market quality benchmarks.
NYSE and NYSE Arca Retail Liquidity
The NYSE and NYSE Arca Retail Liquidity programs promote cost savings through price improvement for individual investors on retail order flow for securities that trade on the NYSE and NYSE Arca markets. Offering price improvement for retail orders within an exchange environment offers individual investors new economic incentives and provides greater transparency, liquidity and competition in the U.S. cash equities marketplace. The program can be utilized by retail firms directly as well as by the brokers that service retail order flow providers.
NYSE Arca LMM and Supplemental LMM
NYSE Arca aligns performance benchmarks to focus on areas of support of ETF growth - Tighter spreads, greater depth of book, and higher quality auctions. Market Makers have the opportunity to earn additional credits for improving ETF market quality.
Market Insights
The NYSE Research team explores market trends, analyzes exchange products and trading situations, and offers data-driven perspectives that promote greater understanding of our markets. For example, we recently analyzed how increased retail activity in the equities market has affected various aspects of trading, in particular the period immediately after the opening auction. Market participants often avoid this time of day due to higher volatility, an approach worth re-evaluating given current trends.
Our Exchanges
The New York Stock Exchange operates five equities exchanges, each purpose-built to meet the needs of corporate and ETF issuers and offer greater choice to investors in how they trade.
