Dark Pools: Where's the Transparency?

  • In 2009, CBOE stepped up its already vigorous regulatory initiatives by working proactively with regulators and legislators to help shape regulatory reform. The year 2010 likely will hold more of the same.
  • This is the fifth in a series of releases in the CBOE Newsroom (www.cboenews.com) that will offer background, status and CBOE views on issues in the regulatory spotlight. Other regulatory topics recently covered include high frequency trading, flash trading and short sales.
  • In this installment, CBOE Executive Vice Chairman Edward Tilly shares CBOE's perspective on dark pools and points out the differences between a dark pool and a grey pool.
